Vintage 1970s Hand-Woven Sisal Wall Tapestry

€ 2200

This hand-woven sisal tapestry from the 1970s is composed of densely coiled and looped natural fibers, forming a richly textured, voluminous surface. The cascading, sculptural structure gives the piece a strong physical presence and a sense of movement—hallmarks of mid-century modern fiber art and the experimental textile design that gained prominence during this era.

Though unsigned, this wall hanging reflects the craftsmanship and material sensitivity of a skilled textile artist. Its bold, organic form and use of raw, sustainable materials invite comparison to the work of notable Dutch and Belgium fiber artists such as Annet Gaaikema, Lieva Bostoen and Veerle Dupont, who were active in the 1960s and ’70s and recognized for challenging the conventions of traditional weaving. Like their work, this piece explores the sculptural potential of fiber, embracing a tactile, nature-inspired aesthetic rooted in artisanal practice and slow design.
