The honest truth about availability

This piece was handmade in Sweden decades ago by a generation of textile artisans that is no longer being replaced. Similar patterns may occasionally have been produced in small numbers — but the techniques, materials and the makers themselves are no longer in active production. When this piece sells, we cannot order another like it.

FAQ

Is this original vintage, not a reproduction?
Yes. Every piece in this collection was made by hand in Sweden decades ago and sourced by us here in Sweden. We do not sell reproductions or new production.

How rare is this?
Handmade Scandinavian textile wall art of this quality and age is no longer being produced. Some designs were embroidered or woven in small numbers, so occasionally a similar pattern exists — but individual pieces still differ in colour, tension, thread and condition, and once each specific piece sells we cannot re-source it.

Do you ship worldwide?
Yes — we ship worldwide from Sweden with tracked delivery. USA customers get full DDP with all duties and taxes prepaid.
