About the Item
Handwoven in wool, this antique Swedish flatweave runner from 1910-1920 is a prized example from the Scandinavian weaving traditions. Its low-profile, reversible construction and graphic clarity make it a highly desirable piece of textile art.
On the Design:
This runner is a refined and exceptionally graphic piece of Swedish folk art, capturing the rich, symbolic language of traditional Scandinavian weaving. The design is a masterful display of Folk Icons, featuring abstract yet recognizable symbols: stylized medallions, stepped triangles, arrow-like symbols, and abstract figures. These icons traverse the Natural Beige/Ochre field in a sophisticated, muted palette of caramel brown, slate blue-gray, and soft rose pink, colors historically derived from natural dyes.
The precision of the flatweave technique gives these motifs a sharp, timeless clarity. Admirers of the craft will recognize this piece as a pure expression of Scandinavian design—teeming with the quiet, old-world charm and collectible graphic simplicity that defines the region's early textile heritage. This runner is a piece of design history as much as it is a durable, handmade work of art.
