Vintage Swedish Allmoge Needlepoint Birds and Flowers Wall Hanging
Couldn't load pickup availability
A truly exceptional piece of Swedish folk art, this large needlepoint wall hanging is a masterclass in the allmoge tradition — the centuries-old Scandinavian craft of decorative needlework rooted in rural village life. The central field, worked on a warm cream ground, depicts a symmetrical composition of stylised tulips, carnations and pomegranate blooms flanked by pairs of facing birds, all connected by sinuous green stems in a design that echoes the great textile traditions of 17th and 18th century Sweden.
The central panel is framed by a wide geometric border in deep navy, olive green and burgundy, filled with diamond and cross motifs that give the piece the gravitas of a fine tapestry. The piece is presented on its original black wrought iron hanging rod with decorative scrollwork — ready to hang straight from the wall.
Technique: needlepoint, wool on canvas. Colours: cream, red, pink, navy blue, olive green, gold, brown. Hanging: original black wrought iron rod with scrollwork detail. Dimensions: 68 x 42 cm (26.8 x 16.5 in). Origin: Sweden, mid-20th century. Condition: excellent vintage condition.
A one-of-a-kind piece — only one available.
