Converted from SEK · charged in SEK
A densely worked cross-stitch wall hanging in wool on canvas, embroidered by hand square by square. The composition is strictly symmetrical: a deep navy frame, borders of red and blue diamonds top and bottom, and three large panels — two with stylised blue tulips on oxblood red, and at the centre a red stag with raised antlers on moss green, flanked by a blue flower. Narrow beaded bands and olive lattice work fill the space between. Stag, tulip and diamond belong to the old Nordic peasant vocabulary; here they meet the pattern embroidery of the twentieth century. The second photograph shows the reverse: bare canvas and loose thread ends, proof that every stitch was set by hand. Era: Folkhem Sweden, mid twentieth century. Size: 25.5 x 66 cm (width x height). Materials: wool yarn cross-stitched on canvas. Condition: very good, strong colours, storage creases, see photos. One of one. It has 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.
This one-of-a-kind piece is paid securely through the cart and Shopify checkout.
