The piece dates back to the period from 1970 to 1990. These were knotted to prevent the roughness of the raw wood material of sofas and chairs.

The piece was elegantly decorated and has collectible value. Knot density of the piece is average and the motifs were rendered clearly. The piece was knotted wool on cotton. The piece is in goos condition without significant problems. Entirely hand knotted.
