DescriptionDescription: The rug consists of striped woven backing with bands of rya knots made of linen that create a silvery shimmering look. At the 1923 Gothenburg exhibition, the rug was placed in an interior setting with a cabinet designed by Carl Malmsten (see NMK 43/1977). The exhibition in Gothenburg was largely a dress rehearsal for the Paris exhibition in 1925, and many exhibits were displayed in both locations.
