This is a folk art Sheep Wall Hanging dating to approximately the 1960s. The white sheep stands against a rich chocolate brown wool felt background, framed by geometric borders and floral appliqués in warm pumpkin, cream, ochre, and black. The simple design blends Scandinavian-inspired modern folk art with primitive farmhouse style.
Entirely handcrafted, the appliqué elements have been individually cut and machine stitched onto the wool felt foundation. The reverse is finished with a black cotton backing featuring sewn hanging tabs to display from a wooden dowel or decorative rod.
CONDITION: Excellent vintage condition with light age-related wear consistent with careful use. Colors remain rich and attractive.
