About the Item

Exceptionally distinctive and fun vintage folk art wool wall hanging, exuding a captivating "Kilim" style portraying a knight from Normandy, France. Skillfully hand-woven, dating back to the 1950s. What truly sets this piece apart is the intricate wool and brass thread weaving used to craft the knight's helmet, a stunning detail best appreciated through the accompanying close-up images. The knight is adorned in the armor characteristic of a Norman knight, bearing a shield and sword while proudly standing before a backdrop of a blue flag. For ease of display, the wall hanging is neatly mounted on a wooden frame, ensuring it hangs elegantly on your wall. Alternatively, it can be displayed without this frame. Maintaining a commendable vintage condition, the colors remain vivid, and the wool exhibits no visible signs of damage, adding to its overall appeal. If you don't want or need the wooden frame, we can offer the shipping for free. Please keep in mind that we only sell vintage and antique pieces and none of our pieces should be considered new or in perfect condition. All of our vintage products show the rich beauty and history of their life with the knocks and bumps of many years of use. We restore our pieces so they will be clean and in a good working condition. However we try to minimise restoration to keep every piece as original as possible. The physical object can differ slightly in colour from the object as presented online. We have made every effort to display colours accurately, but cannot guarantee that the pictures accurately reflect the colour of those goods in real life.
