Antique Swedish Rollakan Tapestry with Pictorials and Florals, from Rug & Kilim
Handwoven in a wool flatweave circa 1880-1889, this 2x3 antique Swedish tapestry is a rich treasure from the Scandinavian Rollakan and Flamskvav weaving traditions from Sweden.
On the Design:
A rich brown background underscores florals and pictorials in a play of medallion and all over style—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. Admirers of the craft may admire this as one of a very special few pieces we’ve gotten in recently—-antique Swedish tapestry weaves and textiles from the earliest works that would influence the Swedish Modernist movement. It is an extremely collectible piece of design history as much as a work of handmade beauty, teeming with rustic, old-world charm and personal beauty of Swedish and Scandinavian folk art.
Condition:
This Antique Swedish tapestry is in a good condition for its age and origin—intended exclusively for wall-hanging projects.
"Rug & Kilim have been true collaborators in our projects. Their taste, and unmatched knowledge, have led us in unique and unexpected directions - the hallmark of a great partnership"
