Mid-century modern textile work of art. This extraordinary New Old Stock (NOS) architectural sample showcases a massive, elongated 32-inch runner profile with an incredible 1-inch thick dimensional presence. An absolute showstopper for Space Age and pop-art design collectors, the unique front face is split horizontally into two distinct high-contrast texturing zones: the top half explodes with dense fields of icy, frosty white-blue cloud-like highlights, while the bottom section plunges into a deeper, rich cobalt and sapphire landscape. The dramatic, heavy volcanic loop and shag pile gives it tremendous sculptural presence and amazing tactile depth that flat photos cannot capture. Because of its generous runner scale and striking split visual design, this piece functions beautifully as authentic textile wall art or an accent runner mat for a mid-century interior. The reverse side features raw, exceptionally crisp and heavy burlap backing from the era, showing an uneven showroom edge cut and a dirtyish natural center crease from historic folded storage. A highly rare, master-level artifact of 1970s textile design.
Condition Details: Pristine vintage NOS condition on the presentation side. Never used or walked on in any capacity; sat safely stored for over 50 years. The vibrant, deep electric blues and frosty highlight yarns remain phenomenally well-preserved, plush, and thick. The heavy burlap backing is crisp and intact with a natural center fold crease from long-term storage that will relax over time. Perimeter edges are raw and show a characteristic uneven factory showroom cut. Please see photos for full texture and scale details.
