CATALOGUE NOTE
The Morvadia workshop was established in
Jerusalem in 1920, by a number of designers and
weavers from the Bezalel School. Until its
closure in 1931, the workshop produced carpets
and rugs whose designs incorporated Art Nouveau
influences, interpretations of traditional carpet
patterns and Judaic motifs, as this example
clearly illustrates.
