About Emese tapestries

Hungary, a small country, suffered a massive economic depression after WW11

As part of a state-funded program towards economic recovery, the state supported artists of every discipline, willing to work in cooperative factories, which lead to many exquisite collaborative works of art, in the 50s and 60s

Given the funding, materials and facilities, and thus the artistic freedom to create, magnificent and now treasured works, artists were able to produce their visions without sacrificing artistic quality.

The Emese tapestries, of the 60s, are scarce today.

At the height of their creation, there were over 20 designs, many made in 4 different color combinations

Magnificent, Mid Century Modernist, Cubist, and very Focal work of art.
