Handwoven in wool circa 1880-1890, this 2×3 antique Swedish tapestry flatweave is a rich treasure from the Scandinavian Rollakan and Flamskvav weaving traditions.
On the Design:
Rich brown underscores florals and pictorials in a play of medallion and all over style, with blue birds the keen eye will admire in the center of each wreath. Admirers of the craft will appreciate this as a rich piece of folk art capturing the daily lives of weavers that would play a huge role in the Scandinavian renaissance soon to come. It is an extremely collectible piece of design history as much as a handmade treasure, teeming with rustic, old-world charm and rich beauty of Swedish folk art alike.
Condition:
This antique Swedish tapestry is in a good condition for its age and origin—intended exclusively for wall-hanging projects.
