Mid Century Handwoven Folk Art Rug - Owls, Fox & Woodland Animals
Couldn't load pickup availability
A charming vintage folk art rug featuring a whimsical woodland scene with owls, a fox, deer and rabbits gathered beneath a leafy tree.
Richly coloured in warm reds, ochres, greens and soft blues against a natural ground, the design has a playful, storybook quality that feels both nostalgic and timeless.
Handwoven in a dense wool pile, this piece has a beautifully textured surface that gives the animals a softly sculptural look. The naïve animal motifs and construction are reminiscent of mid-century Scandinavian rya and folk textiles, suggesting it may have Scandinavian origins.
Pieces like this were often used as decorative accent rugs or wall hangings, bringing warmth, colour and personality to interiors.
A lovely one-off vintage textile that works beautifully in a child’s room, reading nook, or layered into a vintage, eclectic or mid-century inspired space.
