This antique Swedish Röllakan textile is a masterfully handwoven flat-weave crafted from pure wool, embodying the timeless elegance of traditional Scandinavian folk art. Its rich composition features a series of repeating geometric patterns, including stylised stars, diamonds, and floral medallions, arranged in horizontal bands. The earthy colour palette, comprising deep forest green, ochre, terracotta, beige, and charcoal, creates a warm and grounded aesthetic. Each motif is carefully rendered with symmetrical precision, reflecting the weaver's skilled craftsmanship and the Röllakan tradition's emphasis on balance and harmony.
