Lot Essay

Influenced by Old Norse ornamentation and traditional 18th to 19th century Swedish peasant textiles, Märta Måås-Fjetterström produced textiles such as this one with an archaic cross pattern with a modern flair and color scheme. An example of this model can be found in the permanent collection of the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm, Sweden (inv. no. NMK 53/1967).
