Ebay find: Danish Wool “Waterbearer” AKA Merman!

September 2nd, 2009

Sometimes when you deprive yourself from eBay for a really long time your judgment takes a lapse. Fortunately this wall hanging turned out to be pretty cool, plus it was only 9 bucks! I think it was the description that got me:

“Vintage DANISH Modern DENMARK WOOL Wall HANGING Eames”

Because sometimes you just need to throw out a designers name in there.

This is a self portrait of me with a beard, fish tail, and trident.

“The Waterbearer” which will help out with the crop next year.

The colours are quite similar to our Berber rug, but I have a feeling this will probably make it’s home at the cottage.

Just some more wooly goodness.

I love the teak accent. I have a close connection with this hanging that Juli doesn’t know about. I actually came across the exact same wall hanging at a store in Helsinki. We were at capacity and I couldn’t justify the purchase, but I felt that me and Merman would be reunited again someday….

Well it turns out that was yesterday, and we are very happy regardless of our unconventional relationship.
