Signed Vintage Swedish Rollakan Rug Bildväv Gammelstads
About the Item
78826 Signed Vintage Swedish Pictorial Rollakan Rug, 03'10 x 03'01. This vintage Swedish rollakan rug is a beautiful example of traditional flat-weave craftsmanship, featuring the intricate and durable design characteristic of rollakans. The rug employs the bildvav technique, translating to "picture weaving," which is used to create detailed pictorial scenes within the fabric. Originating from Gammelstads Handvaveri, a renowned hand-weaving workshop in Gammelstad, Sweden, the rug carries significant cultural and historical value. Gammelstad, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is known for its well-preserved church town and rich history, adding to the allure of items produced there.
The rug is monogrammed with the initials "BLe" in the lower corner, likely identifying the artisan or designer responsible for its creation. This monogramming practice is common in handwoven pieces, serving as a mark of authenticity and craftsmanship. The combination of traditional Swedish weaving techniques, the historical significance of Gammelstad, and the identifiable artisan's signature make this rug a valuable and distinctive piece for collectors and enthusiasts of Scandinavian textiles.
