Burt Groedel Design rug for Edward Fields circa 1970, with lovely three-dimensional elements crafted of 100% virgin carved wool, suitable for a lovely wall hanging. Gray swan on a cream field, with nylon backing. Signed to bottom left: "Burt Groedel" and "EF" to bottom right corner. Original label to verso stating: "Take Me To Your Leda". Apparently in good condition, no visible impediments. Measures approximately 79-1/2" x 66".Edward Fields—an American carpet maker whose rugs dress the floors in the Glass House, Hollyhock House, and Lever House—recently released "Iconics," a collection of eleven designs inspired by their most distinct patterns unveiled throughout their 70 year history. Ranging from retro designs of the 1950's and 1960's to more contemporary patterns from the 1980's and 1990's, these "reissued" rugs represent what Edward Fields has long been known for: distinct, bold patterns and an experimental sensibility. While the patterns remain largely untouched from their originals, their current iterations have been adapted for today's tastes (think shorter pile height, new materials and a modern color palette).
