Collection: Vintage Scandinavian Pillows, Table Runners & Textiles

This collection is for textiles you use every day rather than hang on the wall. It centers on vintage needlepoint pillows and hand embroidered cushion covers, many worked in wool on linen or canvas with Swedish allmoge motifs such as folk birds, tulips and roses.

Table linens make up the second half. Look for Swedish wool table runners with allmoge embroidery in teal or brown, handwoven striped runners sold as a set of two, geometric kilim runners, an early 1900s wool runner, a striped linen tablecloth for six and a tomte Christmas tablecloth set. Matching runner and cushion cover sets make it easy to dress a table and sofa in the same palette.

There is a softer, romantic side too: crochet lace cushion pairs, a crochet pillow set with a striped wool throw, a rustic fringed bench throw and a pair of 1970s flower power curtains. Most pieces are Scandinavian, with a few from elsewhere in Europe, and each listing gives size, fiber and any wear. Ships from Sweden with tracking, duties paid (DDP) to the US.
