A Swedish Christmas wall hanging on deep blue coarse linen: a dancing tomte (Christmas gnome) in a red cap with a white tassel, white beard and rosy cheeks, dressed in a green waistcoat, mustard-yellow patterned jersey, pale knee breeches, white wool socks with red pompoms and yellow clogs. The piece is printed and then finished by hand — the gnome's nose and the tassel of his cap are raised red fabric, the waistcoat carries three real brass buttons and a small brass watch chain, and in his hand he holds a patterned Christmas parcel. The artist's signature "LM." is worked in white at the lower right. It hangs from its original dark wooden rods top and bottom. The reverse is shown in the second photo. Era: Colourful Sweden — later 20th century. Dimensions: 27 x 49 cm. Material: coarse linen with printed motif, fabric appliqué, brass buttons and chain, wooden rods. Condition: good — softly patinated linen, storage folds, see photos. One of a kind — 1 of 1. Hung in a Swedish home.
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.
