1950s Le Corbusier Inspired 'Modulor' Tapestry from Brussels Expo '58
By Le Corbusier
Located in Los Angeles, CA
A stunning Mid-Century tapestry or carpet from the 1950s, professionally mounted on wood stretcher boards. This captivating piece is uniquely inspired by characters found in Le Corbusier's seminal 1948 book 'Modulor', vividly depicting two cubist musicians immersed in a smoke-filled jazz club. Whimsical and bright, this textile is a masterful "play on Modernism," reflecting an artistic interpretation that Le Corbusier himself would likely have appreciated, and perhaps even commissioned. Adding to its exceptional provenance, "we were actually informed that the tapestry was a part of the '58 Brussels Expo in Belgium." It is "very possible" that it was specifically made for, or created in tribute to, the renowned French architect who was commissioned to design the iconic Philips Pavilion...

Early 20th Century American Crazy Quilt in Turquoise, Pink, Yellow, Navy, Green
Located in Barrington, IL
A vibrant and visually compelling example of early American textile art, this Crazy Quilt dates to the early 1900s and showcases the rich, expressive tradition of folk craftsmanship. Composed of individually hand-cut and hand-stitched cotton and flannel pieces in vivid hues—including turquoise, pink, yellow, navy, and red—this quilt is characterized by its abstract, improvisational layout. Decorative herringbone embroidery accentuates the seams, adding texture and sophistication. The quilt is backed with soft flannel cotton, enhancing both comfort and durability. Found in New England and likely made in Pennsylvania, it reflects the ingenuity of early American makers who repurposed textiles into functional yet highly decorative works of art. Originally intended as a decorative throw rather than a bed covering, this quilt is perfect for use as a wall hanging or accent textile in refined interiors.
