Provenance
The Bank building Merkurius, Stora Torget in Borås. The building was designed by Ivar Tengbom in 1915. The same architect designed among others Stockholms konserthus (where the Nobel Prize Award Ceremony takes place every year) and the well known Tändstickspalatset in Stockholm. This carpet was probably part of the original furnishings in the banks boardroom.
