Embroidered text: ”Låt ingen dag gå fåfängt bort, så vinnes lärdom inom kort.” Translation: "Let no day pass in vain, and learning is soon won". An unusually well-preserved Swedish Jugend (Art Nouveau) wall hanging from the early 20th century, hand-embroidered on white linen. The motto is worked in deep blue Fraktur lettering, framed by an Art Nouveau architecture of spirals, stylised tulips in orange and red and dense satin-stitch leaves in white and green. The lower edge finishes in a knotted fringe. According to the seller it was most likely never hung: no sun fading, holes or repairs. Size: 74 cm high (incl. fringe) x 97 cm wide. Era: Jugend / turn of the century, early 1900s. One of a kind. The photographs show the whole piece plus details and the reverse.
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.
