Topic

Swedish Textiles from Skåne, 1680 to 1850

Description

Hosted by NERS with our co-hosts GW Univ Textile Museum and TMA/SC: Gunnar Nilsson will explore textiles from Skåne in southern Sweden, starting with such better-known types as röllakan, embroideries, and Flemish weaves. Then he will introduce lesser-known types, which never come up in foreign auctions or major Swedish sales. Although such lesser-known textiles are mostly of middling or low quality, they include a few outstanding pieces that can easily compete with the best Flemish-weave and röllakan examples.

Now retired from his career in the energy field, he devotes his time to gardening, family activities with his wife and three grown children, and textile collecting. His collecting began in the early 1980s: he was first attracted by the bold colors of Caucasian rugs and then turned to Anatolian rugs. In the early 1990s he discovered Swedish textiles, which he primarily collects today (although now and then he acquires Anatolian rugs and yastiks). Gunnar has published articles about Swedish textiles in HALI 195 (Spring 2018) and 199 (Spring 2019). A third article will appear this fall, in HALI 213.
