Skåne Tapestry Cushion With The Red Lion – Swedish Folk Textile
A stunning cushion made from a traditional tapestry from Skåne, in southern Sweden, a region renowned for its folk weavings.
The fabric features a stylized red lion surrounded by Scandinavian floral motifs. In Skåne tradition, the lion is a symbol of protection, strength, and good luck, often used in interiors to watch over the home.
This figurative motif, more complex to create than the usual geometric compositions, was woven in very small quantities. Pieces featuring animals were often kept within families and rarely circulated.
This cushion, crafted from a carefully preserved antique weave, is therefore a one-of-a-kind piece—both rare and deeply decorative.
An authentic early 20th-century tapestry, now mounted as a cushion to give this fragment of Swedish heritage a new life in a contemporary interior.
