The design dates back to the 1930s and is titled "Flowers + Space," with the signature "Futur Balla" at the bottom. Hand-knotted in wool in a limited edition from the 1980s. The design is characterized by a strong visual rhythm, symmetry, color contrasts, and abstract forms that evoke movement and energy—all hallmarks of Futurism.

Giacomo Balla (1871–1958) was an Italian painter, sculptor, and set designer. He was a leading figure in Futurism, co-signing, along with other Italian Futurists, the manifestos that established its theoretical framework. I have official proof of authenticity such as vintage catalogs,
