About the Item
Ethel Halvar-Andersson — Hand-Knotted Geometric Carpet, Sweden, 1940s
Signed “EHA”
Dimensions: approx. 242 x 178 cm (95.3 x 70.1 in)
Designer: Ethel Halvar-Andersson (1917–2011)
Origin: Sweden
Date: 1940s
Technique: Hand-knotted wool
Signature: Monogrammed “EHA” in weave
A striking and rare example of mid-century Swedish textile design, this hand-knotted carpet by Ethel Halvar-Andersson features a vivid, polychrome composition of geometric forms—typical of the modernist textile experiments emerging in postwar Sweden. Designed in the 1940s and woven in richly dyed wool, the carpet balances graphic rhythm with chromatic subtlety.
Signed in the weave with the designer’s monogram “EHA”, the piece exemplifies Halvar-Andersson’s approach to weaving as both functional design and abstract expression. Its bold palette and strong visual structure make it suitable for use as a floor covering or as a statement wall tapestry.
