Antique Swedish Rollakan Tapestry with Geometric Patterns, from Rug & Kilim

About the Item

Handwoven in wool circa 1880-1890, this 2x3 antique Swedish tapestry flatweave is from Rug & Kilim’s new collection of classic Scandinavian tapestries and folk art. On the Design: Admirers of the craft will note this work particularly represents early Scandinavian modernist weavings, where the influence from Turkish, Persian, and other Oriental rug and tapestry traditions is especially visible. Beige, navy blue and brick red tones underscore such geometric patterns, with white accents the keen eye will further admire in the many beauties at play. 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. Keen eyes for symbolism will further admire the range of motifs at play which underscore the more minimalist Swedish Modern aesthetic, which makes this piece all the more collectible as a foundation of the art in such exceptional condition. This antique design is from a very special collection that Rug & Kilim is proud to unveil—rich works from one of the most important histories of craft, and particularly representative of the works of women weavers that underscores this movement. Condition: This Antique Swedish flatweave further enjoys good condition for its age—intended exclusively for wall-hanging projects.
