Art Appraisal Wall Hanging Appraisal

Geometric Abstract Wall Hanging on Suede or Felt

This item is a large, rectangular wall hanging featuring a geometric abstract design. The primary material appears to be a soft, tanned material, likely suede or a heavy felt, with a light brown or tan base color, which exhibits some variations in tone, possibly due to aging, dirt accumulation, or inherent material qualities. The artwork consists of overlapping and interlocking semi-circular and curved banded forms, rendered in a palette of earthy and muted tones including deep teal, various shades of orange (from bright to muted), dark brown, and possibly olive green. These bands create a sense of depth and movement within the composition. The construction suggests an appliqué or a painted design technique applied directly onto the textile surface. Two wooden or possibly leather tabs are visible at the top edge, suggesting that the item is designed to be hung from a rod or hooks; one tab appears to have a single circular perforation, likely for a hanging mechanism. The overall condition shows signs of age and wear; the base material has a somewhat faded and slightly uneven appearance, consistent with a vintage item. There are no obvious tears or significant damage, but the edges appear soft and possibly worn. The colors of the geometric patterns seem relatively well-preserved, though they might be slightly muted from their original vibrancy. The style points towards a mid-20th century aesthetic, possibly in the vein of a more accessible, decorative art piece inspired by Op Art or other geometric abstraction movements. The craftsmanship appears to be of decent quality, exhibiting clean lines in the geometric shapes, though without closer inspection, it's hard to discern fine details of the application technique. The item’s size suggests it is intended as a significant decorative element.
