A small vintage/antique piece from Sweden, Northern Europe. A small tapestry, 17.5cm square, of traditional hand-woven Flemish weave, featuring impressive blue flowers that seem to bloom on a rocky outcrop. The navy blue of the petals. The bright yellow of the pistils and stamens are three-dimensional French knot embroidery. The brown of the stems. The light green (pale khaki) is like moss or the breath of new buds...? Is the ivory the rock face? Is the light pink the shadow of the rock face, or a river? Or perhaps a sign of spring...? Is the white the passing wind...? Green, ... Is it in a forest near a Scandinavian lake? Or a highland, a high-altitude area...? I'm not sure which is the top or bottom, but it's beautiful either way. Is it linen thread, or a blend of linen and wool? The texture of the simple thread. The colors are reminiscent of plant dyeing. It seems to convey the pure and clear air. Flemish weaving is a weaving technique that originated in the Flanders region of Belgium and France in the Middle Ages. "Flemish" means "of Flanders." Using warp threads stretched on a wooden frame, weft threads are passed left and right, weaving the pattern. It's a time-consuming and intricate weaving method. The natural atmosphere unique to Flemish woven works and the chic color scheme are also very lovely. The following are amateur measurements, and due to the original distortion of the shape, please forgive any errors. Length: 17.5-17.7cm Width: 17.3-17.8cm Approx. 27g It goes well with antique furniture, of course, as well as modern furniture and mid-century style vintage Japanese furniture. Regardless of old or new, it enhances the sense of style and sophistication of a space or room arrangement. You can use it as a mat as is, or pin it with tacks/thread and casually hang it on the wall. It would also be lovely to frame it in a frame with glass on one or both sides, like a landscape painting. It is in very clean condition, with no stains, dirt, or damage such as scratches. A lyrical work that evokes each person's own mental landscape. A small, beautiful tapestry that exudes an impressive presence.
