This vintage Scandinavian needlepoint textile is a striking hand-stitched piece that beautifully blends artistry with craftsmanship. The composition features a poised Siamese-style cat, rendered in shades of cream and beige, with striking blue-green eyes and finely detailed facial features that give it a lifelike presence. The cat’s elegant form, with its arched back and curling tail, is framed against a richly patterned background of warm autumnal tones, rust, terracotta, olive green, and brown, arranged in textured, wave-like stitches that create depth and movement. The intricate needlepoint technique highlights both geometric and organic forms, showcasing the Scandinavian tradition of combining modernist design sensibilities with folk-inspired motifs. Finished with loops at the top for hanging, this textile is not only decorative but also a functional piece of wall art, radiating warmth, charm, and mid-century Scandinavian character.

Authentic vintage and antique Scandinavian textiles are handwoven with wool. Each one is an exceptional work of art and one of a kind.

Pictures are taken in natural light to portray the most realistic colours possible. Due to the handmade and preloved nature, slight imperfections and flaws are not defects.

Our textiles are professionally restored, and the fringes secured, ensuring many more years of life.

It’s 1990 all over again!

In the early 1990’s, my wife I were obsessed with hand woven, vegetable dyed Turkish carpets from Azeri/Woven Legends. We spent so much time at ABC Carpet & Home in NYC, we became good friends with the head rug buyer!! We haven’t purchased a rug in years, but I found a wonderful Woven Legends carpet at Shopvintagerugs and bought myself an early birthday present. The rug was shipped from Pakistan on Monday, made its way to Dubai, then Boston, Memphis and finally arrived to us today. I couldn’t be happier!
