This vintage Scandinavian needlepoint textile is a striking hand-stitched piece that beautifully blends artistry with craftsmanship. The composition features a poised Siamese-style cat, rendered in shades of cream and beige, with striking blue-green eyes and finely detailed facial features that give it a lifelike presence. The cat’s elegant form, with its arched back and curling tail, is framed against a richly patterned background of warm autumnal tones, rust, terracotta, olive green, and brown, arranged in textured, wave-like stitches that create depth and movement. The intricate needlepoint technique highlights both geometric and organic forms, showcasing the Scandinavian tradition of combining modernist design sensibilities with folk-inspired motifs. Finished with loops at the top for hanging, this textile is not only decorative but also a functional piece of wall art, radiating warmth, charm, and mid-century Scandinavian character.

Authentic vintage and antique Scandinavian textiles are handwoven with wool. Each one is an exceptional work of art and one of a kind.

Pictures are taken in natural light to portray the most realistic colours possible. Due to the handmade and preloved nature, slight imperfections and flaws are not defects.
