Large Vintage Mid-Century Modern Rya Wall Art – Sunflower Motif (70 x 160 cm) Exquisite Mid-Century Modern Textile Art This is a stunning example of 1970s textile design, a large-scale hand-knotted "Rya" (Smyrna) wall hanging. More than just a rug, this piece represents the vibrant Pop Art and Hippie Modernism movement of the era, where textiles were treated as wall-mounted fine art. Design & Aesthetics: The composition features two large, stylized sunflowers in a bold palette of sunshine yellow, burnt orange, and deep chocolate brown, set against a rich forest green background. The geometric simplification of the floral forms is characteristic of high-end Scandinavian and Western European textile workshops of the period. Technique & Texture: Technique: Hand-knotted shaggy wool (Rya/Smyrna technique). Visual Impact: The long, dense pile creates a beautiful 3D tactile effect, giving the "painting" depth and changing its appearance depending on the light. Artistic Value: A true "statement piece" for any Mid-Century Modern or Boho-Chic interior. Specifications & Condition: Dimensions: 70 cm x 160 cm (Large format). Material: High-quality wool on a sturdy canvas backing. Condition: Excellent vintage condition. The colors remain remarkably vibrant and saturated. The wool is clean, thick, and well-preserved. From a smoke-free and pet-free environment. Provenance: Likely of Scandinavian or Dutch origin, dating from the late 1960s to early 1970s.
