      Q&A: Copper Woven Baskets and Plates

      Copper woven baskets and plates are rare art pieces made by the Wounaan of Colombia. Palm fibers are woven into intricate forms, then accented with copper wire that adds shimmer, contrast, and a contemporary edge to an ancestral tradition.

      Their blend of tradition and innovation makes them highly sought after. Collectors and interior designers prize them as one-of-a-kind statement pieces, admired both for their cultural heritage and their striking visual impact in modern interiors.

      The base is made from the fine inner fibers of the Werregue palm, shredded into threadlike strands and dyed with natural pigments from seeds, roots, and fruits. Copper wire is carefully woven in to create metallic highlights that reflect light and transform the design.

      Depending on size and detail, weaving can take several months to more than a year. The addition of copper requires meticulous stitching to ensure balance and durability.

      Yes. The Werregue palm is responsibly harvested, and natural dyes are made from local plants. Copper is used sparingly, giving a modern touch without compromising traditional methods. Each purchase supports Wounaan artisans directly.

      Display them as wall art, gallery groupings, or as a dramatic centerpiece. Keep them away from direct sunlight and moisture. Dust gently with a soft brush. The copper will maintain its shine with care, though a natural patina may develop over time.

      Authentic copper baskets and plates from Colombian Wounaan artisans are available through RFB Woven Art, curated as collectible woven art and statement décor for discerning collectors and interior designers.
