Origin: Scandinavia 

Circa: 1960s

Material: Pure Wool

This vibrant vintage Scandinavian handwoven textile features a striking geometric pattern in a warm autumnal palette of golden yellow, burnt orange, earthy brown, ivory, and brick red. The design is arranged in horizontal bands, each hosting symmetrical blocks of stylised floral and diamond motifs, framed by contrasting stripes and intricate small-scale patterns.

The repeating central panels showcase bold, butterfly-like floral forms flanked by smaller diamond medallions, all woven with crisp, pixel-like precision typical of traditional flatweave techniques. Narrow decorative borders of crosses, chevrons, and stepped patterns separate the main panels, lending a rhythmic architectural structure to the textile.

Finished with a fringe on one end, this handwoven piece is a fine example of mid-20th-century Scandinavian craftsmanship celebrated for its balance of functional weaving and modernist folk-art appeal. Its warm colours and clean geometric layout make it equally suited for use as a wall hanging, table cover, or decorative accent in contemporary interiors.

Authentic antique and vintage Scandinavian textiles are hand-woven 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!
