Rare Vintage Fannie Mennen Woodblock Print on Fabric - "Persian Horse" - Framed

A rare and exceptional mid-century folk art piece titled "Persian Horse" by listed Southern Appalachian artist and craftsman Fannie Rebecca Mennen (American, 1903-1995). While Mennen is widely celebrated for her paper block prints, she was also an accomplished textile artist and a prominent member of the Southern Highland Craft Guild.
This highly unique piece features her iconic "Persian Horse" design block-printed directly onto a textured woven fabric panel. The graphic, stylized black ink contrasts beautifully with a shimmering, mottled metallic background integrated into the textile fibers, allowing the piece to subtly catch the light.
The lower margins of the fabric are hand-titled "Persian Horse" in pencil on the lower left and hand-signed "F. Mennen" on the lower right. The piece is housed in its vintage, period-appropriate black wooden frame with a fabric mat liner, accentuating its textile origins. A magnificent find for collectors of Southern Appalachian crafts, mid-century folk art, and vintage textiles.
