This antique Norwegian tapestry features a traditional geometric pattern typical of Nordic weaving heritage. The tapestry is rectangular, with a warm, earthy colour palette including shades of beige, brown, terracotta, soft pink, and muted blues. The central field is dominated by a repeating diamond motif arranged in a grid, each diamond enclosing smaller, intricate geometric shapes that create a balanced, rhythmic visual effect.

The top and bottom borders incorporate bands of zigzag and stepped motifs in coordinating colours, framing the design with a touch of dynamic movement while maintaining the overall harmony. The weaving technique appears flat and tightly woven, characteristic of Norwegian tapestry styles, emphasising durability and fine craftsmanship.

This piece reflects the rich cultural history of Norwegian textile arts, combining both aesthetic appeal and functional craftsmanship, making it an excellent choice for collectors or those interested in traditional Scandinavian décor.

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!
