The production was stimulated mainly by the abundance of a raw material such as sheep wool, used as yarn. The activity has been handed down from generation to generation and some Sardinian families have specialized in it, giving life to workshops craftsmen or "companies" of wider scope

- 20th Century White and Blue Alice in Wonderland Salvador Dalí Rug, ca 1977By Ege Axminster A/SLocated in Firenze, ITProbably there would have been no better artist to illustrate a story as beautiful as surreal, like that of Alice in Wonderland. Let’s talk about Salvador Dali (1904-1989), the Spanish artist who changed the concept of 20th-century art. As an admirer of Freud, Salvador Dali is known for the use of symbolism and recurring objects in all of his works. This carpet, made by the well-known EGE AXMINSTER carpet factory from a 1969 painting, presents Alice jumping rope in a long fluttering dress with her head and hands represented as a bouquet and her symbolic shadow figure next to her. The dark grid lines fixed on an ivory field vanish at an escape point behind the mountains in the distance. Birds, abstract figures and a smaller secondary person dot the background in the distance. Dali’s signature...Category
