Description

  • "Snäckorna" Carpet
  • woven with artist and manufacturer's mark
  • handwoven wool

Condition

Overall in excellent original condition. The coloration of the carpet are more saturated and vivid when viewed firsthand than they appear in the catalogue illustration. With some very minor discolorations consistent with gentle use and age. There are some very minor losses to the fringe along the border. The original owner appears to have used the carpet with the reverse face up, and therefore the back shows very slight wear. A highly desirable carpet showing great intricacy to the abstract pattern and colors.
