This 1970s textile artwork is a delightful needlepoint tapestry that captures a woodpecker perched on a tree branch — a charming blend of folk artistry and mid-century design sensibility.

The bird, rendered in rich shades of green, olive, and yellow with a striking red crown, stands out vividly against a softly textured beige background. Its form is geometric yet recognisable, stylised with bold patches of colour and simplified contours that give it both warmth and graphic clarity. The brown tree branch and delicate green leaves anchor the composition, creating a natural harmony of tones.

Framing the scene is a decorative border composed of repeating circular motifs in white, olive, mustard, and brown — a distinctly 1970s pattern that gives the piece a rhythmic, almost quilt-like structure. The tapestry is suspended from a brass or gold-toned metal hanger, enhancing its nostalgic charm and evoking the era’s handcrafted home décor aesthetic.

This vintage needlepoint tapestry remains in very good condition. The needlepoint is very slightly irregular, which is typical for handmade or traditionally textile pieces, adding to its authenticity and charm.

Farmyard Geese
£70
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

This 1972 textile artwork is a charming and vibrant handwoven tapestry that captures a stylised pastoral scene with a distinctly mid-century folk-art feel.

At the forefront, a small group of white geese with orange beaks and feet stand together on patterned ground rendered in blocks of green, orange, grey, and ochre. Behind them, a traditional half-timbered thatched cottage is depicted in a highly geometric and simplified way—its yellow roof and blue-paned windows contrasting sharply against a bright cobalt-blue sky filled with rhythmic vertical strokes.

The composition is bordered by a narrow red frame and set against a neutral linen backing, giving it a crisp and contained presentation. The overall design is bold yet playful, with an emphasis on pattern, symmetry, and texture rather than realism.

Typical of the 1970s Scandinavian and Northern European textile aesthetic, this piece blends warmth and modernity—balancing homely rural imagery with strong graphic abstraction. The craftsmanship, use of colour blocking, and tactile quality of the woven surface all contribute to its charmingly naive yet sophisticated appeal.

This 1970s textile artwork is a charming hand-stitched tapestry that captures a blue tit perched delicately on a branch — a delightful expression of nature interpreted through the warmth of mid-century Scandinavian craft design.

The small bird, rendered in vibrant tones of blue, yellow, and olive green, is beautifully stylised yet instantly recognisable. Its body perches gracefully on a brown branch adorned with red berries, offering a joyful pop of colour against the soft, neutral background of interwoven cream and beige threads.

Framing the scene is a decorative border made up of repeating geometric floral motifs in soft yellow, olive green, and brown. This rhythmic edging lends the piece a distinctly 1970s folk-art character, balancing homeliness with graphic precision. The tapestry hangs from a brass-toned metal hanger, enhancing its nostalgic and handcrafted charm.

Every stitch reflects care and craftsmanship — a testament to the era’s appreciation for slow, tactile art forms that brought warmth into the home.

Red Roosters
£75
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

This 1973 textile artwork is a striking, handwoven wall tapestry that captures the essence of 1970s Scandinavian modernist design — bold, playful, and deeply textural.

The composition features two stylised birds facing each other in symmetrical balance, their beaks nearly touching as if in conversation or ritual. The birds are rendered in vivid shades of magenta, red, orange, and pink, set against an earthy brown and olive backdrop that enhances the vibrancy of their plumage. Their bodies are richly patterned with repeated eye-like motifs in black and white, adding a rhythmic, almost totemic quality to the piece.

Floral or feather-like forms rise vertically behind each bird, in flaming tones of violet, orange, and yellow, creating a sense of movement and vitality. The tapestry is bordered by a neutral linen mount that both softens and frames the intense colourwork.

Executed with a masterful sense of geometry and folk-inspired abstraction, the work feels both decorative and symbolic — celebrating nature, symmetry, and craftsmanship. The combination of strong contrasting hues, simplified forms, and tactile woven texture make this a quintessential example of early 1970s Nordic textile art, exuding warmth, character, and playful sophistication.

The Fruit Tree
£70
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

This 1976 textile artwork is a beautifully expressive handwoven tapestry that captures the spirit of Scandinavian modernist design with a touch of whimsy and surrealism.

At the centre stands a stylised tree with branching limbs rendered in deep shades of indigo, teal, and plum. Instead of natural foliage, the branches bear striking, eye-like fruit in vivid oranges, pinks, reds, and purples — each orb outlined with black and white stripes or concentric shapes, giving them an almost mystical or watchful quality. Beneath, smaller tulip-like forms in turquoise, violet, and magenta rise like decorative ground flora, adding a rhythmic base to the composition.

The backdrop is composed of vertical bands of blue — from light azure to midnight — creating a sense of depth and twilight atmosphere. The entire woven section is bordered by a neutral linen mount, giving it a clean, contemporary presentation that contrasts beautifully with the saturated hues.

The piece exudes both harmony and imagination: its bold abstraction and graphic patterning are softened by the tactile warmth of wool. The artist transforms a simple motif — a tree — into something symbolic and joyous, evoking themes of growth, mystery, and interconnectedness.

It’s a quintessential example of 1970s Scandinavian textile art — modernist yet folk-inspired, decorative yet poetic, bursting with colour and life.

Autumn Branch
£65
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

This 1971 textile artwork is a beautifully understated handwoven tapestry that captures the quiet elegance of nature through a refined modernist lens.

The composition centres on an arching branch adorned with elongated leaves in a radiant autumnal palette—burnt orange, rust, amber, and ochre—balanced by softer greens, olives, and hints of yellow. The branch stretches diagonally across the weave, creating a gentle sense of movement and rhythm, as if caught mid-fall in a soft breeze.

The background is a textured grey wool, its natural tones lending warmth and subtle depth that allow the vivid leaves to stand out in rich contrast. The tactile weave enhances the sense of organic softness, inviting both visual and physical appreciation. Mounted neatly on a neutral linen backing, the piece has a restrained, naturalistic harmony.

Though simple in subject, the artwork demonstrates a sophisticated command of colour and form. The stylised leaves and rhythmic composition reflect a distinctly Scandinavian modern aesthetic—one that celebrates craftsmanship, seasonal change, and the quiet poetry of the natural world.

It’s a serene and timeless 1970s textile piece—calm, contemplative, and beautifully evocative of autumn’s fleeting beauty.

Buds Against Blue I

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

This 1970s textile artwork is a beautifully handwoven tapestry depicting a stylised still life of flowers in a jug — a subject deeply rooted in Scandinavian folk and modernist traditions, interpreted here with bold simplicity and a painterly sense of form.

A light blue jug with sweeping, fluid curves anchors the composition, its elongated handle and spout rendered with sculptural elegance. From it rises a lively arrangement of green leaves and yellow buds, their shapes softly abstracted and harmoniously layered. The artist’s use of tonal greens — from olive to mint — against touches of ochre and white creates a balanced rhythm of light and movement.

The background is a deep, velvety navy that enhances the vibrancy of the floral forms, bordered by a rich teal frame that adds structure while maintaining a sense of softness. The initials “LW” woven subtly into the lower left corner suggest the maker’s personal touch, adding to the tapestry’s charm and individuality.

Executed with refined craftsmanship and a keen eye for colour harmony, this piece exemplifies 1970s Scandinavian textile art — where natural motifs, handwoven tactility, and modern abstraction coexist beautifully.

Vikings
£80
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

This 1972 textile artwork is a bold and richly stylised handwoven tapestry depicting a Viking ship — a motif that beautifully blends Scandinavian heritage with the modernist textile aesthetic of the 1970s.

The central form of the ship is simplified into sweeping, geometric curves: a strong, arching hull rendered in earthy greens and blues, with a rhythmic row of circular shields in warm ochres, oranges, and reds adorning its side. Upright black forms rise from the ship, evoking both oars and masts, giving the piece a sense of vertical balance and quiet power.

Above, a stylised sail unfurls, composed of vivid stripes in red, orange, and gold against a cream field, framed by a band of deep blue that mirrors the sea below. The interplay of bold primary and secondary tones — red, blue, yellow, and green — is masterfully balanced, creating a dynamic yet harmonious composition.

The piece is mounted on a neutral linen backing, which enhances its sculptural quality and allows the saturated colours to stand out with clarity.

This tapestry captures both motion and monumentality: it feels ancient and modern at once, echoing the spirit of Nordic mythology and craftsmanship while embracing the clean abstraction and rhythmic design sensibilities of 1970s Scandinavian art.

A striking tribute to cultural identity and artistry — strong, symbolic, and beautifully woven.

This 1970s textile artwork is a delicately handwoven tapestry depicting a bouquet of wildflowers rendered in a charmingly naïve yet expressive style.

Set against a soft sky-blue background, the composition features a lively arrangement of blooms — bright red, golden yellow, violet, and deep blue — emerging from fine green stems and leaves. The flowers vary in size and orientation, creating a natural sense of movement as though freshly gathered from a meadow. The stems subtly twist and overlap, giving the piece a graceful, organic rhythm.

The tapestry is bordered by a simple dark brown edge, which frames the scene and contrasts gently with the pale background. Mounted on a neutral linen base, the overall presentation feels both rustic and refined, characteristic of Scandinavian or Northern European textile design from the period.

The handwoven texture adds a tactile warmth to the piece, with each coloured thread contributing to the impression of a lovingly crafted, one-of-a-kind artwork.

This 1970s textile artwork is a serene and finely handwoven tapestry that captures the graceful simplicity of wildflowers through a distinctly Scandinavian modernist lens.

Depicting a cluster of white narcissi, the composition radiates calm and balance. The flowers, with their pure white petals accented by subtle blue-grey shadows and warm orange-yellow centres, rise elegantly among slender green blades of grass. The vertical rhythm of the leaves and stems gives the piece a gentle upward motion, as if the flowers are stretching toward the light.

The earthy brown background provides a rich contrast, grounding the composition and allowing the whites and greens to appear luminous and fresh. This natural palette — of greens, whites, and browns softened by muted tones — reflects the Nordic reverence for nature’s quiet beauty and seasonal transitions.

Mounted on a neutral linen border, the piece exudes a tactile warmth and timeless craftsmanship. The woven texture enhances the organic quality of the design, inviting both visual and tactile appreciation.

The Union
£55
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

This 1970s textile artwork is a charming and whimsical handwoven tapestry depicting a newlywed couple beneath a bright sun — a joyful celebration of love rendered in the folk-modern style so characteristic of Scandinavian textile art of the period.

At the centre stands the bride and groom, simply but expressively portrayed: the bride in a long white gown and veil, holding a bouquet of pink flowers, and the groom in a black suit and top hat. Their figures are stylised and symmetrical, framed by two tall blue flowers that echo traditional wedding motifs of purity and growth.

The background is a deep midnight blue or black, which makes the bright colours — yellows, greens, pinks, and blues — radiate with warmth and optimism. Above, a golden sun with radiating beams shines down on the pair, while beneath them a field of cheerful yellow daisies anchors the scene in a meadow-like setting.

Mounted on a neutral linen backing, the piece has a rustic yet refined presence. The handwoven texture and slightly naive proportions lend it a tender, storybook quality — a perfect blend of folk tradition and 1970s artistic playfulness.

It’s a heartfelt, symbolic work that captures not just a moment but a feeling — one of innocence, warmth, and enduring joy — lovingly woven into fabric.

Under the Sea
£65
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

This 1970 textile artwork is a playful and colourful handwoven tapestry that encapsulates the cheerful modernism of Scandinavian design from the era.

At its centre swims a stylised fish, depicted in bold geometric forms and bright hues of orange, yellow, lilac, and coral pink. Its body is segmented with rhythmic stripes, and a round blue eye pops vividly against its pale face. The fish’s form, while simplified, conveys a lively personality — it seems almost animated as it glides across the composition.

Surrounding it is a softly variegated blue background suggesting water, with hints of movement rendered through gentle tonal shifts. Black, linear motifs rise vertically on either side, resembling underwater plants or reeds, grounding the fish within its aquatic world. Above, a few horizontal yellow dashes evoke the glimmer of sunlight filtering through the surface.

Mounted neatly on a light linen backing, the piece balances playfulness with craftsmanship. The artist’s use of strong contrast, simplified forms, and tactile weaving brings warmth and charm to a simple subject.

This tapestry beautifully captures the optimism and stylised naturalism characteristic of early 1970s Nordic textile art — an enchanting fusion of folk whimsy, mid-century abstraction, and childlike joy.

This 1976 textile artwork is a warm, handwoven tapestry that captures the quiet beauty of nature through a distinctly 1970s Scandinavian modernist sensibility.

Depicting a cluster of stylised yellow and ochre blossoms, the piece radiates a gentle autumnal glow. The flowers — rendered in tonal variations of golden yellow, mustard, and amber — are scattered rhythmically across a richly textured brown background. Subtle greens emerge from below, suggesting stems and foliage, grounding the composition with natural balance.

The artist’s approach is both abstract and organic: the blooms are simplified to essential rounded forms, their soft edges blending harmoniously into the earthy backdrop. The interplay between light and dark tones gives the flowers a quiet luminescence, as though illuminated by late afternoon sunlight.

Mounted neatly on a neutral linen border, the tapestry exudes an understated elegance. Its palette of browns, yellows, and greens evokes a deep connection to the natural world — a hallmark of Scandinavian textile art from the era, where craftsmanship and nature coexisted seamlessly.

Peaceful and contemplative, this 1976 work feels like a woven ode to the changing seasons — warm, tactile, and full of quiet life.

Silver Moon Folktale
£50
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

This 1970s textile artwork is a captivating handwoven tapestry that merges myth, fantasy, and modern abstraction into a richly coloured composition typical of Scandinavian textile art from the era.

At its centre stands a regal female figure — possibly a queen or an ethereal spirit — distinguished by her long flowing blue gown, slender form, and small golden crown. Her dark hair and serene, pale face draw the eye immediately, creating a striking focal point amidst the surrounding geometry of colour. She appears to stand on a circular stage or pedestal, her form tapering elegantly as it rises, evoking both poise and stillness.

Above her, a luminous sphere — perhaps a moon or an orb of light — glows softly, while behind her, a tapestry of vertical colour blocks in purples, blues, and greens forms an abstract forest or curtain-like backdrop. The angular, overlapping shapes lend the piece a rhythmic sense of movement and depth, as if the scene is unfolding in a dreamlike theatre.

The palette — a harmony of cool blues, violets, teals, and greens — creates a mystical, nocturnal atmosphere, enhanced by the softness of the woven texture. Mounted on a light linen backing, the work feels both structured and ethereal.

This tapestry beautifully embodies the 1970s Nordic modernist aesthetic — combining storytelling and symbolism with bold design and craftsmanship. The result is an enchanting, almost fairy-tale-like image that feels timeless, mysterious, and quietly majestic.

This 1970s textile artwork is a graceful handwoven tapestry depicting a single red poppy in bloom — a simple yet striking celebration of natural beauty, rendered in the understated modern-folk style typical of Scandinavian textile art from the era.

Woven with earthy neutral tones, the central image showcases a stylised tree of life with colourful branches, and perched at its heart is a whimsical bird, with a fan-like tail rendered in soft blue and gold.

Warm beige, cream, and brown base tones are accented by subtle pastel blues, soft pinks, and muted gold, creating a soft, inviting aesthetic. Floral rosettes along the top and bottom borders add balance and a touch of ornamentation, while the fringed ends enhance the handmade charm.

Crafted using the flat-weaving technique, this rug has no pile, giving it a reversible surface that is both lightweight and durable.

This rug has undergone professional cleaning and remains in very good condition. The rug’s shape is very slightly irregular, which is typical for handmade or traditionally woven pieces, adding to its authenticity and charm.

Linnaea Flowers

Sold

SOLD.

This 1973 textile artwork is a beautifully handwoven tapestry that captures the gentle elegance of nature through stylised floral abstraction — a hallmark of Scandinavian textile design from the era.

Depicting a cluster of bell-shaped flowers, the composition features tall, arching green stems crowned with soft pink blossoms that seem to nod delicately, as if swaying in a quiet breeze. The flowers are rendered in subtle tonal variations of pink and rose, lending them depth and warmth, while the leaves at the base are woven in cool greens and blue-greens, grounding the composition with solidity and balance.

The background alternates between deep brown and navy vertical stripes, a striking yet understated contrast that gives rhythm and structure to the design. This interplay of earthy and dusky tones allows the pastel blooms to glow softly, adding a sense of serenity and intimacy to the piece.

Mounted on a natural linen backing, the tapestry exudes both simplicity and sophistication — a tactile celebration of handcraft and nature.

With its rhythmic pattern, gentle palette, and handmade texture, this 1973 work perfectly embodies the Scandinavian modern ethos: organic, contemplative, and quietly joyful.

This vintage tapestry remains in very good condition. It is mounted onto fabric lined board, and is ready to hang. The needlepoint is very slightly irregular, which is typical for handmade or traditionally textile pieces, adding to its authenticity and charm.
