Embroidered text: “Röd lyser stugan bak hängbjörkars skugga” — “Red glows the cottage behind the shade of weeping birches.” A hand-embroidered Swedish wall hanging on natural linen. The scene is a landscape in free embroidery: a red cottage with blue shutters at the edge of the forest, a row of deep-green fir trees, the pale veil of the weeping birch above the roof, and a slope below scattered with small green grass stitches. A garland of red tulips, blue cornflowers, pink flowers and yellow blossoms winds around the image on curling green stems. The entire hanging is framed by a wide red and dark-green cross-stitch border. The verse is embroidered at the bottom in bright red thread in a free, handwritten script. The reverse is shown in the second photograph: the piece is entirely hand-stitched, with no machine seams. Era: The antique years — early 20th century. Dimensions: 40 cm high × 62 cm wide (15.7 × 24.4 in). Material: Linen with cotton-thread embroidery and a woven cross-stitch border. Condition: Good — softly patinated linen with storage creases; please see the photographs. Unique — 1 of 1. Hand-embroidered and once hung in a Swedish home; no copy exists. Final sale, see purchase policy.

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.
