About the Item

This rare 6x8 antique Swedish textile, handwoven in a wool flatweave and originating from Sweden circa 1920-1930, 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 modernist weavings, where the influence from Turkish, Persian, and other Oriental rug and tapestry traditions is especially visible. RIch and saturated colors underscore geometric patterns clearly drawing on antique tribal motifs—though polychromatic in beauty, with a particular presence of brown, mustard gold, navy blue and red tones. 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. Keen eyes for symbolism will further admire the range of motifs at play—including tribal eight-pointed stars, ewers (or water jugs), primitivist bird depictions “s-hook” geometric patterns to name a few. All of these would go on to 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. Condition: Great condition for its age and origin, most suitable as a tapestry in wall-hanging projects and similar decorative applications, but equally ready for the floor.
