Table Throw/Dessus de table

  • Weaving

Handwoven table throw made in Iran. Predominantly red; decorated with elaborate and colourful embroidery. Table throws such as this are commonly used in Iran and surrounding regions to cover a korsi, a low table under which a heater is placed to warm those gathering around it. This piece was likely made in the Kerman region, which is known for creating colourful and intricate handmade table throws.

Dessus de table tissé à la main en Iran. De couleur rouge dominante et décoré de broderies élaborées et colorées. Les dessus de table comme celui-ci sont couramment utilisés en Iran et dans les régions avoisinantes pour couvrir un korsi, une table basse sous laquelle on place un radiateur pour réchauffer les personnes qui se rassemblent autour. Cette pièce a probablement été fabriquée dans la région de Kerman, connue pour la création de dessus de table artisanaux colorés et complexes.

The C2 Centre for Craft  is located in what we now know as Manitoba, the ancestral lands of the Anishinaabeg, Ininiwak, Dene, Anishininewuk, Dakota Oyate, Inuit Peoples, and the national homeland of the Red River Métis. These lands include territory subject to Treaties 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 10.

Craft occupies a space that has the hand and the handmade at its centre. It rejoices in sharing knowledge and solving problems. It stems from, creates, and nurtures community. It allows us to build bridges through shared action, but also fosters courage, empathy, and connection.

We acknowledge the deep harm caused by settlement, and we look forward to using craft in our efforts towards reconciliation and positive change.
