This woollen vintage Scandinavian bird tapestry is a captivating piece inspired by M.C. Escher's tessellated style. The design features an interlocking pattern of stylised birds in alternating light and dark tones of natural wool cream and brown, creating a rhythmic, almost hypnotic visual effect.

The birds are depicted in a highly geometric, minimalist form. Each bird seamlessly fits into the negative space of its neighbour, forming a continuous, repeating motif across the entire surface. Fine horizontal stripes border the top and bottom edges, adding a subtle frame to the composition, while delicate fringe finishes the ends, lending a soft touch.

This tapestry is a striking example of mid-century Scandinavian design, merging traditional textile craftsmanship with modern, mathematical artistry. It would make a beautiful statement as a wall hanging, adding a touch of vintage charm and graphic sophistication to any interior.

Authentic vintage and antique Scandinavian kilims are handwoven with wool and cotton. 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 these rugs' handmade and preloved nature, slight imperfections and flaws are not considered defects.

Our kilims are professionally restored, and the fringes secured, ensuring many more years of life. In addition, we advise using a rug pad with a grip back to keep your rug in position and to smooth out any wrinkles from shipping. Using a rug pad will also safeguard your carpet from deterioration and, therefore, extend the life of your rug.

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!
