The Fabric

The textile for this product was sourced over a decade ago on one of my many visits to Indonesian markets, a treat whilst working in the region. Originally a sarong, this piece has since been carefully kept, waiting for the right moment to celebrate and share the beautiful design.

‘Indonesian Batik’ is recognized by the United Nations as an ‘Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity’ owing to the vital part it plays in the country’s living heritage. This particular fabric is an example of high-quality modern batik methods representing traditional motifs. The section chosen for framing has been thoughtfully selected from the larger sarong to best honour and showcase the original design.

The Frame

The frame itself was sourced from a charity shop and is reused here with care. Wherever possible, the original wood and glazing have been retained, while the internal mounting and backing materials have been replaced with high-quality, acid-free components to protect the textile for years to come. The fabric is mounted using a traditional lacing technique, avoiding adhesives that could compromise it over time. Discreet spacers allow air to circulate between the fabric and the glazing, and the frame is carefully sealed to reduce dust ingress.

The original glazing has been reused. As with many vintage or second-hand commercial frames, it is not always possible to definitively confirm the presence of specialist coatings or UV protection. For this reason, it is recommended that the piece is not hung in direct sunlight.

Frame fixings are as original and allow for free standing, or hanging in portrait or landscape orientation.
