About the Item

This is the Swedish considerable large tapestry by Irma Kronlund, handwoven for Kronoberg Läns Hemslöjd, measuring majestic 90x56 in (229x142 cm). It comes in a beautifully color range in red and orange and this wonderful motif depicting a group with tall buildings. Irma Kronlund designed a lot of carpets, embroideries and tapestry by order of the church, so what we see here could represent church towers stretching towards the sky. It could very well be a unique wall hanging. Title unknown. This very rare vintage tapestry is signed KLH (Kronobergs Läns Hemslöjd) and IK (Irma Kronlund) respectively in the lower corners. The device for suspension consists of a channel sewn for a wooden bar. Two holes are made for attaching the rod to wall hooks. ____________________ Irma Kronlund (1919-2008) was active for more than 40 years during the middle of the 20th century and spent her entire career at the Kronobergs Läns Hemslöjd (Kronobergs County Craft Association) in the town Växjö. She had her studio on the floor above Hemslöjden's store on Storgatan in Växjö.
