AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

carpet on the wall rare contemporary designer

The artwork shown is a large-scale tapestry in the style of or inspired by Paul Klee, not an original work by him. Although Paul Klee experimented with textures and taught color theory to weavers at the Bauhaus, his paintings and drawings were made, not tapestries.
About the Tapestry
Style: The tapestry reflects Paul Klee's characteristic abstract, symbolic, and childlike playful form, combining elements of Cubism, Expressionism, and Surrealism.
Material and Technique: This large, textured tapestry is likely a fiber art mural made of jute, wool, and cotton, typically a vintage piece from the 1970s.
Authenticity: According to experts at the Paul Klee Archive, Klee kept an extremely accurate catalog of all his works, and the tapestries on the market bearing his name are generally not his authentic, authorized works, but later, inspired works.
Hungarian relevance: Similar mid-century modern-style tapestries were also made in Hungary, such as the "Emese" tapestries, which were popular in the 1960s.

the artwork in the picture is indeed the work of the industrial artist László Pécsi (1929–1984), from the 1960s.
Key features
Artist and period: Designed by the Hungarian industrial artist László Pécsi in the 1960s.
Technique and production: The tapestry is made using the "moquette" technique, often from a mixture of wool, silk or other fibers. These pieces were made in state-subsidized factories, such as the Szombathely Lakástextil Vállalat (also known as Erika or Emese), as part of a program aimed at post-war economic recovery.
Style: The piece combines modernist and cubist stylistic features, with abstract plant forms and stylized figures. The rugs were often produced in vibrant, multi-color combinations.
Type: This type of textile art was popular as wall hangings or wall hangings in the mid-century.
