This is our rare vintage hand woven mid-century Swedish folk art rug or wall hanging tapestry.  It is completely hand woven in wool with a Flemish weave twist stitch.  The workmanship is truly amazing. This is not a lightweight piece it is very heavy and good quality.

It is a fantastic folk art design which features people, animals, birds and flowers in a very attractive and Swedish colourway - pinks, blues, burgundy, sage, green, mustard on an off white and pale pink background.  It is so vibrant and well crafted, it truly is a work of art.

It is completed with an off white fringe which has been fitted on all sides, which is quite unusual and when we purchased it from a specialist rug dealer, they advised us that it has had some repairs over the years.  The repairs are not noticeable in use as they were done on the underside - please see photos.  

As it is a vintage piece and not a new rug, there are some strands of the fringe missing on one corner, we purchased as is and a tiny bare spot in the pale pink background where the backing shows, not a hole, barely noticeable - please see photos. The hessian braiding on the reverse has aged somewhat.  These flaws do not detract from its overall beauty but we just want to be transparent about the condition of this vintage item.

Please note the fringe is not integral to the rug and has been attached to the base so when handling/moving the rug to save any damage it does need to be handled by the main part of the rug and not just by the fringe itself as it is a very heavy piece.

It is in good condition considering its age, purpose and light colourway.  It comes from a smoke free, pet free, adult only home.

It would work well as a wall hung tapestry, although it does not have a rod pocket but it could be hung by tapestry clips, not included.

We used it for a short period as a rug in a study but thought it too good to walk on, which we never did, so we packed it away and sadly, never got round to hanging it on a wall.  We have now downsized.

It really needs to be seen as it is quite rare to find a large vintage rug/tapestry with such a charming design.  It would work equally well in a contemporary or a traditional setting.

Measures 7ft long by 66inches wide.

Please note that the rug will be sent folded and any creasing will fall out in time when laid flat again.

Postage within the UK (subject to exceptions) will be via Parcelforce48 and tracked.
