Beautiful Swedish cushions filled with feathers with a beautiful combination of dark gray stripes and other very warm, orange or red stripes which gives them luminosity. They are woven in twill, the warp being cotton thread and the rustic wool weft of different shades. Swedish bedding in brown or grey colours with different red stripes are very characteristic. Usually woven on manual looms about 50-60 cm wide. This pillow has been hand-sewn closed, a delicious old detail!
ROSARIO SAYS: “We are happy to have found some of our old Swedish tickings in Zickerman's inventory of popular fabrics (photos taken between 1910 and 1932 via Nordic Museum Stockholm). This way we can better attest to the origin and age of each design.”
