Including the Aesthetic Movement, Art Nouveau, Arts & Crafts Movement (In particular of Scottish origin), Modernism, Art Deco and Streamlining. We also enjoy the great craft and quality construction in folk art and vernacular items from across Europe. In particular, Scandinavian decorative items from the 18th and 19th Century. We enjoy being analytical in our approach and supporting our stock with background research, provenance and history through researching the items, the period, designers and retailers. We often hunt the country from our Scottish location, but routinely search from Lancashire and Yorkshire as well as buying trips further afield to supply items online. We also like to take on items that particularly interest us from earlier periods, dependent on our fascination for an object. We are always learning, and happy to share knowledge gained, so please do get in touch. Thanks for viewing our selection of stock, we are always pleased to see items pass through our hands to new owners and homes as antiques remain a great green recyclable purchase!

Description
For sale is an attractive, geometric pattern, vintage cushion, hand woven in Sweden in original condition. - The woven green cushion has a beautiful geometric design pattern from Skåne a region in Southern Sweden. - It is in a lovely, impactful design of green, red, grey/blue and cream yellow. - Acorn motifs are included within this textile as part of the overall design alongside floral tulip heads to the corners. - The edge of the textile/cushion has a continuous short fabric fringe repeating the colours used in the cushion to prevent wear to the edge, common to these cushions in a traditional Scandinavian folk style. - The woven material is wool on a cotton/linen backing. - The Skåne region, near Malmo, Sweden has a strong folk tradition of woven textiles influenced both from migrant Flemish weavers from the low countries and Persian Kilim style rugs from the middle-east. This is a lovely, characterful Scandinavian textile likely made in the  decade before Ww2 and at 80-90 years of age is in good condition. It is in original condition and so does show signs of age-related wear as shown by the images.
