This antique Scandinavian wool tapestry is a vivid and whimsical textile masterpiece, bursting with life and colour. Woven entirely by hand, it depicts a fantastical underwater and jungle-like scene where animals such as fish, birds, and crocodiles—intermingle among lush vegetation and surreal foliage. Bold hues of ochre, coral, aqua, emerald, and chocolate brown create a dynamic contrast, while playful figures like a striped tiger and golden crocodiles lend a folk-art charm that is both imaginative and expressive. Rich in narrative and texture, this tapestry captures the spirit of mid-century Scandinavian textile art, making it an exceptional wall hanging or collector’s piece.
