Now Available At The Rune Garden - Norwegian Runner

Norway/Norwegian/Norsk, Heavy Woven Table Runner.  You are bidding on a heavy-duty table runner from Norway. It appears to be hand woven and comes in shades of orange or tangerine. It would be perfect for the fall and Thanksgiving season as well as any other time to complement your decor. The sides are hemmed and the corners nicely mitered. The dimensions are 44.5 by 15.25 inches. It is in good condition although it has seen some use, dating from the 1960's, I would guess. It is probably made from cotton yarn and the type no longer found in the stores.

Knut Hamsun, the Nobel laureate and acclaimed author of Hunger, continues to court controversy more than half a century after his death. Last month the Israeli foreign minister condemned the celebration of the writer's work, currently taking place in his native land. "I was shocked to discover that the Norwegian government had decided to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the birth of Hamsun, who was an admirer of the Nazis," said Avigdor Lieberman.
