Traditional, old technique, which came to life in the present moment. In all its magnificent and delicate beauty, this unique, collectible piece by Silvia Furmanovich can never be replicated.

Tiny, exquisite, tactile carpets, adorned with diamonds, opals, sapphires, beryls, turquoise, tsavorites, peridots, citrines and pearls, with painstakingly delicate details.

Fitting more than one and a half thousand fine needle stitches and tiny knots within a miniature surface required the immense craftsmanship of the local artisans. A several metre-wide fabric had to fit within just a few centimetres.
