Details

Whimsical yet refined, this striking vintage runner features a delightful sequence of stylized fish swimming across a creamy undyed wool field. Each fish is boldly colored—ochre, cobalt, marigold, plum, rust—punctuated by vivid horizontal banding that adds rhythm and movement. Handwoven with charming asymmetries and folk-art allure, it exudes a tactile warmth and playful spirit that makes it feel both nostalgic and utterly modern.
