This beautiful vintage Scandinavian embroidered textile is a vibrant showcase of Nordic folk artistry and precision craftsmanship. The piece features an intricate arrangement of horizontal bands, each filled with colourful motifs, including geometric diamonds, checkered patterns, and richly embroidered floral rosettes.

Dominated by warm rust, deep black, and natural cream tones, the textile is accented with touches of mustard, olive green, and burgundy, giving it a harmonious yet bold appearance. The central band is particularly eye-catching, featuring three large stylised floral medallions with cross-shaped petals, flanked by elegant vine-like motifs.

Woven and embroidered in traditional techniques, this textile likely served as a decorative wall hanging, table runner, or festive household ornament. It reflects the Scandinavian aesthetic of balance, rhythm, and colour, making it a perfect piece for collectors or those seeking a touch of folk heritage in modern interiors.

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!
