Large Vintage Wall Textile, Handwoven Wool - Finland, 1970s

A beautiful hand-woven piece from Finland’s raanu tradition - a craft that blends textile making, folk art, and everyday utility. Historically, they were woven to serve many purposes at once: hung on walls for warmth and colour, used as blankets or bedcovers, laid across benches, or layered on the floors to keep the chill out. Their versatility is one reason they’ve stayed loved - and the craftsmanship is another. These were woven with a level of skill and care that’s almost impossible to find today.

This raanu is larger than most and woven in an unusually vibrant palette. The deep black wool grounds the composition, while the rose, ochre, green, and pale grey stripes create a crisp, uplifting rhythm. The wool is tightly woven and feels thin yet very sturdy, with a satisfying weight.

A one-of-a-kind art textile with real presence, ready to bring warmth and colour to a wall, a bench, or any quiet corner that needs texture and life.
