Decorative horsehair wall hanging by Margaret Eland
More info
Horsehair, used since the Bronze Age, was vital across Siberian cultures for its strength, lightness, and versatility. Peoples of the Baikal region used it for sewing, weaving, and ritual items. Techniques varied by group—from Tuvan cords to Sakha spiritual ropes. Today, this ancient material remains underappreciated. We value horsehair for its enduring qualities and deep cultural significance.

Care Instructions
Protection:
- Protect the fabric from prolonged exposure to light, especially through window glass, which can amplify the damaging effects of sunlight.
- Be cautious of winter sun and reflections from snow, which can be more harmful than summer sun.
- To prevent oxidation and "gas fading," ensure the fabric is aired regularly if stored for long periods. Be aware that certain colors, particularly black and silk-containing fabrics, are more susceptible to fading.
Cleaning:
- Regularly vacuum or brush the fabric to remove dust and impurities.
- Do not wash horsehair fabrics; they can be dry cleaned by a professional home furniture cleaning service.
- Avoid contact with any cleaning liquids as discoloration may occur. Most marks can be removed using a damp cloth and a soft brush.
- Handle hand embroidery with care during cleaning.
