The Niger Bend

Tiv Textile - Incomplete Dye

This textile is woven and dyed in Nigeria, by the Tiv people. Woven out of cotton and died from indigo dyes. It appears to me that this textile's dying was not completed but it has left an interesting configuration of dots and circles.
This is a traditionally woven and dyed textile but is not one that has been used already, not vintage; we cannot guarantee that this textile will not run if washed. We recommend dry cleaning methods to avoid running very carefully hand washing.
This textile measures 72 x 45 1/2" (183 x 116 cm)

D.R. Spetka first lived in Africa for a year before officially opening The Niger Bend in 1982.During the first 20 years of that time, D.R. Spetka traveled extensively in West Africa. However, since the early 2000’s, he decided to expand his traveling to East Africa and Southeast Asia.

Almost everything we have ever bought to sell we have bought ourselves from producers and their representatives in Africa and Asia. We abide by Fair Trade principles and work closely with people in many countries to obtain the best products and crafts to promote the well-being of those people.

DR. Spetka has devoted his life to this effort and has helped many individuals in these countries immigrate to the United States. “I love the people in Africa and Asia with whom I work; I love their art; I love all the places I go to find what I buy. I have become fully integrated into the lives of the people I work with.”

The Niger Bend is devoted the highest quality decor products from around the world.
