Sold
This lot comprises a mid-century modern Scandinavian style screen printed wall hanging. The textile is constructed from a coarse-woven fabric, possibly jute or a heavy linen blend, featuring a printed design of two stylised peacocks facing one another. Their elaborate tail feathers are integrated to form a large central circular motif. The colour palette includes vibrant red, orange, yellow, and dark green, set against a mottled red ground. The textile is secured between two red-painted wooden battens, the top batten fitted with a cord for suspension. A small white rectangular adhesive label to the lower left corner reads 098, positioned above a secondary blue and white sticker which is not legible. No maker’s marks or signatures are present on the piece.
Condition report:
The wall hanging is in good vintage condition. The colours remain vibrant throughout the printed design. The mottled finish to the red background is a characteristic feature of the screen-printing process. The reverse of the fabric shows some light age-related discolouration and staining (photo 3). The red-painted wooden battens exhibit minor surface wear and small losses to the paint (photo 1).
