Description from the seller
Ingrid Uhr – Vintage Swedish wall tapestry with bird motif – Scandinavian textile design – 1950s/1960s
Vintage wall tapestry designed by the Swedish designer Ingrid Uhr and a characteristic example of Scandinavian textile design from the 1950s-1960s. The design reflects the optimistic vocabulary of form of the post-war Scandinavian design period, where stylized nature motifs, bright colors and graphic simplicity come together to create timeless decorative objects.
The wall tapestry features an elegant, vertical composition of stylized birds and floral motifs. The warm orange and purple tones beautifully contrast with the characteristic moss-green background, while the strong black contour lines give the design a playful yet refined look.
The textile is made from coarsely woven jute or linen and finished with the original wooden hanging battens at the top and bottom. This authentic finish enhances the artisanal character and makes the wall tapestry ready to hang immediately.
Because of its slender, vertical format, this wall tapestry forms a subtle yet striking decorative object. It fits perfectly within a Scandinavian, Japandi, Mid-Century Modern or contemporary minimalist interior and can be easily paired with both vintage and modern furniture.
Vintage Scandinavian textile designs by designers such as Ingrid Uhr are increasingly hard to find and are cherished by collectors for their timeless form, high-quality finish and decorative appeal.
