About the Item
Stunning vintage Ecuadorian rug by Olga Fisch, origin: Ecuador, circa mid-20th century. Size: 6 ft 10 in x 10 ft 4 in (2.08 m x 3.15 m)
Olga Fisch was an inspired artist of the mid-twentieth century who created pieces that were reflective of the natural world around the city of Quito, Ecuador. She was born in Hungary but lived and worked in Quito for much of her life. This fascinating piece is part of her “Caverna” series that was inspired by the cave paintings in Lascaux cave in France.
In this vintage rug, Fisch used earthy colors that are similar to those found on cave painting walls. The colors resemble ash, mud, red ochre, and yellow ochre. The background is the color of ancient limestone. The piece honors the close connection of early man to the natural world. The animals depicted were essential for man’s survival. The rusty reds may symbolize those that have already sacrificed for the sake of man.

- Mid 20th Century Ecuadorian Carpet ByOlga Fisch ( 11' x 13'4"-335 x 406 )By Olga FischLocated in New York, NYEcuadorian carpet designed by Olga Fisch 13'4" x 11'0" Of Hungarian origin, Olga Fisch (1901-1991) emigrated in 1933, first to Morocco and in 1939 to Ecuador, ahead of the political instability wracking Europe. Already an artist and collector of folk art, Fisch quickly took to the local arts and crafts available in the Quito markets. Folk and Paleolithic cave art and established a workshop creating knotted pile carpets to her individualistic and unique designs. The firm continues today, as does the museum of (primarily) Ecuadorian folk art. Only domestic sheep wool is employed and the rugs are firmly symmetrically (Turkish) knotted on a cotton foundation at a density of 60,000 knots per square meter or about 40 knots per square inch. is a rare oval creation with the “Cabalito” pattern inspired by the folk embroidery on the “danzantes’ participants in the Corpus Christi processions from Cotopaxi, Ecuador. A number of these costumes are in the Olga Fisch Folk Art Museum in Quito. The pattern densely fills the ivory field with mobile figures, horses and vegetal motives. It is reminiscent of certain Greek Island women’s costume embroideries. Often the “Cabalito” pattern occupies an oval or lobed section on an otherwise plain rectangular carpet, but here is the pattern takes up almost all of the oval, with its energetic filigree of figures, fauna and flora. Olga Fisch carpets are as 1950s modern as they get and our examples cry out for the right Danish or Swedish modern furniture as their perfect accompaniments. Some Italian Murano glass table objects won’t hurt either. A Neutra or Schindler house in the Los Angeles hills is definitely the perfect context, but any midcentury ranch...Category
