Plant Dyed Wild Silk Wall Hanging - Color Field - Natural Warm Brown

Handmade in Madagascar from Ceranchia wild silk cocoons, this Naturally Dyed Silk Wall Hanging brings rare material texture, botanical color, and artisan process into the home.

The silk cocoons are sustainably harvested, ironed flat, sewn together by hand, and naturally dyed with local plants grown in the artisans’ dye garden. Its golden brown gradient moves from deeper earth tones at the edges toward the silk’s undyed natural color near the center, creating a warm, organic field of texture for the wall.
