//A new Artisan Direct listing from Fernando in Chichicastengo!///
This gorgeous "vintage hupil turned into a centerpiece" features traditional brocade motifs of the town including birds, corn, and geometric figures. We just love the muted colors, in lovely neutrals, with the brocade in a rayon floss for added gloss and delight. What an exquisite textile treasure this is!
The size and richness of this small centerpiece make it great for decorating all sorts of special places around the house. Under a candle, make a little altar of those important items, at the center of a small table.
Fernando and his family have a small textile treasure store in their hometown, a place filled with the most beautiful items imaginable. Currently, because of the lasting effects COVID-19 restrictions both nationally and internationally, they have not had many local sales. Thus, the listing of some of the treasures on our site here on our Artisan Direct page.
