Vintage Hand-Embroidered Possibly Wool and Linen Floral Folk Art Rug with Geometric Border
Vintage hand-embroidered possibly wool-on-linen rug featuring a symmetrical floral folk art design.The cream likely linen ground is embellished with cross-stitched likely wool yarns in shades of rust, blue, mustard, and brown, forming stylized flowers and leafy vines arranged in a repeating diamond lattice pattern. A decorative border with scrolling floral motifs frames the central field, and the edges are finished with a contrasting whipstitch in alternating rust and blue yarn. The craftsmanship and materials suggest mid-20th-century Eastern European or Scandinavian folk textile traditions. Suitable for use as a floor covering, wall hanging, or decorative accent.
