Vintage Scandinavian Portrait Tapestry 2' x 1'7"

Size: 2.7 x 1.7 ft.

Origin: Scandinavia

Circa: 1970s

Material: Pure Wool

This vintage Scandinavian wool tapestry is a bold and expressive handwoven portrait, showcasing the region’s mid-20th-century modernist textile tradition. The central figure, rendered in a striking folk-inspired style, depicts a solemn face framed by vivid tones of blue, orange, yellow, and deep red, set against a dark brown striped background. The strong use of colour contrasts and simplified, geometric shading lends the portrait both depth and intensity, while the stylised expression evokes a sense of quiet strength and introspection. Woven from natural wool with a dense, textured weave and finished with fringe at the base, this tapestry blends fine craftsmanship with artistic expression. Its dramatic palette and modern folk aesthetic make it a captivating wall hanging that reflects Scandinavian design’s ability to merge tradition with bold, contemporary artistry.
