Description
Impressive large-scale vintage macrame wall hanging from the 1970s, mounted on a substantial circular wood hoop. This beautifully hand-knotted piece features intricate open-weave patterning at the top, a dimensional woven pocket element at center, and dramatic cascading wool fringe below.
The sculptural pocket detail adds depth and visual interest, distinguishing this piece from more common flat macrame designs. The combination of tight knotting, structured hoop framing, and soft flowing fringe creates a striking balance between form and texture.
Executed in warm earthy tones, the fiber appears to be a natural jute or wool blend, lending the piece an organic, California-bohemian sensibility. It makes a strong statement above a sofa, bed (especially in earthquake territory), or console and works beautifully in organic modern, coastal, eclectic, or 1970s-inspired interiors.
A wonderful example of American studio craft from the height of the macrame movement.
