Exceptional Vintage Hungarian Textile Appliqué Wall Hangings – From Matched Pair – Transylvanian Costume. This is part of an exceptional and visually striking matched pair of vintage Hungarian folk art textile appliqué wall hangings, depicting traditional Transylvanian-inspired Hungarian folk costumes, and dating to the mid-20th century (circa 1940s-1960s). Only the framed woman is included in this listing. These pieces were acquired from an elite North Dallas estate of a long-time art collector, and the quality, materials, and presentation reflect a carefully curated home rather than casual décor. Each hanging features a stylized male and female figure, thoughtfully composed using layered textiles, silk and rayon ribbons, embroidery, glass beadwork, and hand-painted facial details, all mounted on a natural linen ground and finished with an elegant hand-knotted fringe. The figures are mounted on wooden dowels with original hanging ribbons and have been professionally framed in coordinating frames, creating a cohesive and intentional display. The costumes reflect celebratory Hungarian folk dress, with vibrant color, dimensional texture, and expressive detail. These were created as decorative folk art interpretations, celebrating traditional attire rather than functioning as actual garments, a common and respected form of European folk art in the mid-20th century. European-inspired restaurants or wine rooms. Lodges, libraries, or studies. Boutique hotels or curated short-term rentals. Framed size: 26.5″ X 38.5″. Very attractive vintage condition. Light, honest wear consistent with age. Textiles remain intact with strong color and detail. Frames show minor surface wear, adding character. Please review all photos carefully; they are considered part of the description. Professionally packed to protect frame. Hungarian folk art, Transylvanian décor, textile appliqué, vintage European wall art, folk costume art, framed textile, mid-century folk art, estate décor, curated European art.

AUTHENTIC AUSTRO HUNGARIAN M1917. On December 1, 1918, an official act was signed creating a new state – the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, later know as Yugoslavia. In such a situation it is completely understandable that the Austro-Hungarian uniform existed in the Yugoslav fleet for a long time. Only the royal and state insignias were changed. The M1917 Austro-Hungarian Navy officer’s dagger continued to be worn with the Austro Hungarian coat of arms removed from the blade. Yugoslav naval officers carried Austro-Hungarian naval daggers well into the mid-1920’s. The M1918 daggers were perfect but for one thing – the etching of the austro hungarian coat of arms on the blade. So what they did? They simply erased (grinded or etched out) the austrian coat of arms from the blade and used it till new regulations that came in 1924. It think that regarding this particular dagger, this was the case. Originally it was an austrian M1917 then the blade was overly etched (wich weakened the steel causing the over abrasion, over oxidation and pitting as time passed) and then reused That explains why the blade is so pitted compared to its very well preserved fittings. The grip is made of white deeply lacquered wood with winded gold plated wire. The pommel is made out of brass in the shape of rope knot – nicely done and very detailed compared to subsequent yugoslav models. Brass cross guard has arms in the shape of a dolphin. The blade is made of steel, diamond section and in the shape of prolonged triangle with extensive pitting. Scabbard is made out of brass with crown and anchor crest. At the bottom of the scabbard, there is relief made Neptun with trident. Scabbard has two rings for attaching on the belt, hanger. Blade lenght: 270 mm. Total lenght : 406 mm. ALL STRONG AND FIRM..
