A Unique Work of Art

Work of art tapestries should be unique, and when you purchase yours from Maximo Laura, that is just what you will get.

Your tapestry will be made just for you. When you have chosen your favorite tapestry design, work will begin on it. The weaver that is assigned to you is one of the best contemporary tapestry weavers and has been trained in the techniques and styles by Maximo Laura to create these masterpieces.

To get the best finish on your tapestry, only one weaver will work on your project from beginning to end. We do this because while all our weavers are trained in Maximo’s style, different hands can mean that there are slight changes in movements and tensions, and therefore, you would be able to see where the weavers have changed in the finished tapestry.

To further ensure the uniqueness of Maximo’s tapestries, we use the millenary technique in our weaving. This gives the finished product a 3D effect which just begs to be explored by both eyes and hands. By using blended yarns rather than solid colored yarns that are traditionally used, our weavers achieve this unique finish that sets our tapestries apart. The effect is so realistic that from far away, they can even look like a painting.

Find Your Award-Winning Tapestry

Whether you have enjoyed a trip to Peru and you would like a work of art to fill your wall space and remind you of your good memories, or you want to preserve and enrich the Peruvian culture, purchasing a tapestry online is a way to do it.

Our Peruvian textiles and tapestries embody and represent traditional Andean designs, stories, myths and symbols, and you can help to spread this across the world.

To ensure your hand-woven tapestry is of the highest quality that you would expect, the weaving process can take several weeks or even longer, depending on the complexity and size of your order. Nevertheless, we make sure to send you photos of your tapestry in progress on the loom and when it is finished. Only then do we take payment and ship your modern tapestry to your home. We offer free shipping to all countries using DHL Express so, no matter where you are in the world, you can acquire one of our highly esteemed pieces.
