Swedish midcentury textile with reeds and bulrushes design in earth colours
Purchased in Sweden, this vintage midcentury textile measures 117 x 189 cm and is hemmed at top and bottom edges. A high-quality medium-weight slubbed fabric typical of Swedish furnishing textiles in the postwar midcentury era and particularly characteristic of companies like Boras Wafveri, the magnolia-coloured textile is in excellent condition and is printed with a repeating scene of reeds and bulrushes in warm earth tones ranging from ochre through terracotta, dark tan and chocolate to blackish brown.
