Vintage Sardinian Handwoven Runner, Traditional Campidano Tapestry, 1950s Italian Textile Art.

Discover a beautiful piece of Sardinian textile art with this vintage runner, originally crafted as a copri panca (bench cover) for traditional bridal chests from the Campidano area in Southwest Sardinia. Dating back to the 1950s, this runner showcases the expert craftsmanship of handloom weaving, featuring a stunning deep red geometric pattern in relief.

The ends of the runner are adorned with hand-embroidered floral motifs in vibrant wool threads—shades of violet, orange, burgundy, bright green, sage green, and dark pink—on a delicate blush background. Time has gracefully faded the colors, adding to the piece’s charm and authenticity.

This exquisite example of Sardinian folk textile art, with its rustic yet refined simplicity, will bring a touch of history and elegance to any contemporary home decor or collection.
