Antique Swedish Tapestry with Pastel Colors

About the Item

In 1912, amidst the flourishing Art Nouveau movement, a Swedish masterpiece emerged, resonating with the hues of Apricot Orange and Sunflower. Measuring 5x8’4, this captivating rug encapsulates the essence of Art Nouveau with its intricate stylization. Delicate yet robust, sinuous lines dance across the surface, depicting a symphony of stylized flowers, leaves, and vines. Amidst this botanical tapestry, one might discern the occasional figure or animal, adding an enchanting narrative to the composition. Crafted in the tradition of Swedish flatweave, known as rölakan, this rug embodies centuries of weaving expertise. Its linen warp and wool weft intertwine seamlessly, forming a durable yet exquisite canvas for the artistic expression of its time. As it unfurls, this rölakan rug not only graces the floor but also whispers tales of craftsmanship and creativity from a bygone era. Rug Size 5x8'4 From the Collection of Peter Willborg Dealer & Collector 1959-2019 Sweden
