This woollen vintage Swedish pictorial textile is a charming and vibrant piece. It features a central figure of a girl dressed in traditional folk attire. The textile is worked on a dark brown ground, with rich embroidery in warm orange, red, gold, and cream tones that stand out against the backdrop.
The girl, with her stylised hair, patterned blouse, and flared skirt, is surrounded by an array of embroidered flowers and decorative floral motifs, arranged symmetrically along the sides and top. Playful details like the scalloped hem, bold boots, and delicate facial features give the piece a whimsical, folk-art character.
The textile is bordered with a simple stitched frame and finished at the bottom with long, twisted fringe in matching red and brown tones, adding texture and movement. This piece is a delightful example of Scandinavian folk art, reflecting Swedish craftsmanship and cultural heritage. It is perfect as a decorative wall hanging or nostalgic accent in a cosy interior.
