Vintage Scandinavian Goblin Embroidery, Origin: Sweden, Circa: Middle part of the 20th century – This whimsical vintage rug from Scandinavia depicts a stylized yet beautifully detailed village market scene that has a robust European style. The vivid village features lovely market women at a vendor stand where they offer plump sausages, preserved meats, vegetables and heads of garlic from a decorative braid – a charming scene that infuses this Scandinavian rug with life. Fine ladies with ornate headdresses and elaborate attire move through the village composition with market bags and finely clad attendants. The ornate background showcases towering buildings and decorative structures with tiled roofs, shaded arches and stylized details. This phenomenal vintage Swedish Scandinavian goblin embroidery tapestry features a strong illustrative scene, rich earthy colors and subtle details that give the stylized composition a vivacious quality.
