Embroidered text (Swedish): ”Den god husfrid hava vill, gör vad kvinnan råder till” — ”He who wants peace in the house does what the woman advises.” One of the most beloved and wittiest Swedish home sayings, hand-embroidered here in red on white fabric and edged with a green patterned band. The embroidery shows an idyllic traditional home scene: a window table with potted plants, a Mora clock, a striped rag rug with a cat seen from behind, and an open hearth with a hanging coffee pot and bread on the shelf. The saying is an old Swedish proverb — a twinkle-in-the-eye acknowledgement of who really rules the home, stitched by a woman, for the wall of the home, with humour and self-irony. Era: The Swedish home — mid 20th century. Size: 65 x 36 cm. Condition: Very good according to the seller, no or minimal signs of use. One of a kind — 1 of 1. The photos show the whole bonad, details of the text and motif, and the back.
Condition of sale
Sold as seen · Antique textiles
Every BONAD is a unique antique or vintage Swedish textile that has lived in a real home. Age is part of the object: you may find small stains, fading, light wear, loose threads, scuffs or other marks that are not defects, but evidence of its history.
Because these textiles are one-of-a-kind, fragile and irreplaceable, we sell every piece exactly as seen and described, and we do not offer exchanges or replacements — there is no second, identical piece.
To purchase or ask questions about a piece, send an email to hello@bonad.store. We will confirm availability, condition and shipping details, and provide payment instructions once you are ready.
Consumers resident in the European Union (including Germany) have a statutory right of withdrawal of 14 days from the day the parcel is received. To withdraw, write to hello@bonad.store within that period. The textile must be returned unused, in the same condition, packed flat and protected as it was sent. Return shipping and any customs charges are paid by the buyer, and the buyer carries the risk of loss or damage in transit; we recommend fully insured, tracked shipping. Once the piece has arrived and been inspected, we refund the purchase price within 14 days.
For buyers outside the European Union, all sales are final: a second round of international shipping would expose an irreplaceable textile to further damage, loss or substitution.
Cleaning and care are the buyer's responsibility. Most of these works are linen, wool, cotton or painted paper of considerable age. If cleaning is needed, we recommend a professional conservator or dry cleaner experienced with antique materials. Do not wash or machine-clean a bonad at home.
