Vintage Swedish Flemish Tapestry 1'4" x 1'2"

SIZE: 1.4 x 1.2 FT.

ORIGIN: SWEDEN 

CIRCA: 1980s

MATERIAL: PURE WOOL 

This is a vintage Swedish Flemish tapestry woven in wool. It depicts a lively and nostalgic scene of a traditional general store interior.

The tapestry is filled with charming details: shelves stocked with jars, bottles, bread, sausages, and hanging herbs; an old-fashioned scale and barrels; farming tools like a rake and pitchfork; and vintage decor elements such as a wall clock and lantern. Soft mint green cabinetry and plank-style flooring provide a cosy, rustic backdrop.

Rendered in the classic Flemish tapestry technique, the piece uses tight, precise weaving and a muted, earthy colour palette to create texture and depth. Each element is thoughtfully placed, reflecting everyday rural life in mid-century Sweden.

This wool tapestry is both decorative and storytelling, offering a delightful glimpse into the past through folk art and textile craftsmanship. Perfect for wall display, it brings warmth, charm, and heritage into any space.

Explore the artistry of our authentic vintage kilims and flatweave rugs. These pieces are carefully handwoven using only the finest natural materials, such as pure wool, silk, and cotton, resulting in exceptional works of art. Our kilims undergo professional cleaning to maintain their timeless allure and ensure the preservation of their rich history.

Our specialist restoration workshops expertly secure these vintage art pieces, guaranteeing many more years of enjoyment. To enhance durability and longevity, we highly recommend using a rug pad with a grip back to keep your kilim in place on the floor, smooth out any shipping wrinkles, and protect it from deterioration.

Our product photography skillfully captures the naturalistic colours of our one-of-a-kind products using gentle natural light, although the colours may appear different depending on your device. Before shipping, every kilim undergoes a meticulous stretching process to ensure it arrives straight and flat. Due to its unique and handmade nature, vintage kilim may display slight variations.
