Description

Scandinavian Weaving: FLAT WEAVES FROM FJORD AND FOREST, David Black & Peter Willborg
"This is the first book in English to celebrate the little-known woven art of Scandinavia. It contains 45 full-color plates of rare and hitherto unpublished examples of the indigenous tapestry designs all of which display an astonishing variety of pattern, geometric, floral and figurative, woven in glowing natural dyes. The text is written by Peter Willborg of Stockholm who, as well as being Sweden's leading dealer in oriental rugs, has made a special study of these textiles and carried out extensive field research throughout the province of Skane which was Sweden's most prolific weaving area in the 18th and 19th centuries."
