The tapestry is framed in a solid oak frame with art glass and a backing of linen fabric woven locally in Båstad. It comes with a certificate of authenticity from Märta Måås-Fjetterström AB and is currently on display at our Båstad studio and showroom.
Ann-Mari Forsberg joined the Märta Måås-Fjetterström studio in 1943 alongside Marianne Richter. While she created several beloved rug designs, her most enduring legacy lies in her striking, often monumental tapestries. One of her most iconic works is Crocus (1945), a vibrant design that has become closely associated with her name. Available in red or blue, Crocus exists both as a large-scale wall tapestry and in smaller versions, each capturing Forsberg’s signature use of bold color and expressive form.
