Antique Swedish Rollakan Tapestry in Green with Floral Patterns from Rug & Kilim

About the Item

Handwoven in wool circa 1880-1890, this 2x4 antique Swedish tapestry is from our very special collection of classic Scandinavian tapestries and folk art. On the Design: Admirers of the craft will note this work particularly represents early Scandinavian Rollakhan textiles and modernist weavings, where the influence from Turkish, Persian, and other Oriental rug and tapestry traditions is especially visible. Rich green tones underscore a trellis of floral patterns in gold, navy blue, and salmon red tones at play. Admirers of the craft will appreciate this as 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. Condition: This Antique Swedish flatweave further enjoys good condition for its age—intended exclusively for wall-hanging projects.
