About the Item

A captivating handwoven wool tapestry by Hungarian textile artist Éva Németh, designed in the 1960s and sold through Illums Bolighus in Copenhagen—one of Scandinavia’s most iconic design destinations. This piece reflects the rich tradition of Hungarian folk art, filtered through a distinctly modernist lens. The tapestry features a charming and symbolic scene rendered in soft yet vibrant tones: ochre, rust, teal, and blush pink on a warm cream ground. Stylized figures, birds, floral elements, and folkloric motifs dance across the composition in a whimsical, storybook arrangement—typical of Németh’s narrative-driven and decorative style. Signed “NE” in the weave, the textile is beautifully preserved and fully reversible, allowing for flexible display as a wall hanging, headboard panel, or even as a unique runner. The quality of craftsmanship and materials is outstanding—this is a true collector’s piece with both visual and historical appeal. Éva Németh's work was widely appreciated across Northern Europe and especially in Scandinavia, where her designs were sold through Illums Bolighus alongside the most respected names in midcentury design.
