Handwoven Finnish Banded Raanu Rug/Runner
Featured in this lot is this handwoven Finnish banded Raanu rug/runner circa 1970's. The rug features a wonderfully and professionally crafted wool construction that shows a banded design of white, brown, and light brown coloration. Finnish raanu are traditional, thick, weft-faced wool tapestries or blankets, often featuring vibrant, nature-inspired colors and geometric patterns. Historically used for warmth, they evolved into popular 1970s interior decor with identical sides. Though production mostly ceased in the 1990s, vintage raanus remain popular as upcycled, sentimental, and artisanal wall hangings. The condition of this Navajo rug is well preserved with no obvious signs of damage and shows a well preserved overall condition. The measurements of this rug is 44 1/2" x 14 1/4".
