Size: 4.5 x 2 ft.

Origin: Scandinavia

Circa: 1970s

This lovely vintage Scandinavian textile is a striking handwoven piece characterised by its bold simplicity and vibrant colour palette. The fabric is woven on a radiant red ground, adorned with evenly spaced vertical stripes in deep green, black, and subtle orange tones, creating a rhythmic balance that reflects the clean, minimalist aesthetics often found in Scandinavian design.

The use of intense red is particularly significant in Nordic textiles, where such colours were traditionally associated with warmth, festivity, and protection against the long winters. The vertical stripe arrangement lends the piece both elegance and versatility, making it suitable as a table runner, wall hanging, or decorative textile. The delicate fringes at the sides add a touch of rustic authenticity, emphasising its handmade nature.

Overall, this textile captures the essence of Scandinavian craftsmanship, functional, minimal, yet artistically bold, making it a beautiful addition to both modern and traditional interiors.

Authentic antique and vintage 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!
