This petite vintage African tapestry captures the essence of rural life with a serene and evocative landscape scene. Handwoven with rich wool fibres, the composition features two traditional round huts, one in warm tones of red and orange, nestled at the foot of undulating blue mountains under a sky painted with flowing cream-coloured clouds.

The foreground features a spiky plant in bloom, adding a natural touch to the earthy terrain. The textured fringe at the bottom and woven tabs at the top enhance its handmade character, making it perfect for wall display.

Expressive and soulful, this tapestry reflects the artistry and storytelling of African textile traditions, offering a glimpse into village life framed by nature’s quiet grandeur.

Authentic vintage and antique African kilims are hand-woven with wool and Mohair. Each one is an exceptional work of art and unique.

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 kilim rugs are professionally restored, and the fringes secured, ensuring many more years of life.

Our kilims are professionally cleaned.

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!
