Lace or thread curtains were a very common import in Sweden from the late 19th century until the Second World War. The country of origin of lace curtains has almost always been Scotland, and the only Swedish lace curtain factory that existed was also run by Scots. The character of this early 20th century curtain is, unusually, more of the type of delicate, sparse embroidery than grand lace, and the pattern is very reminiscent of 18th century lace and the diagonal floral pattern of the Rococo, an era that early 20th century interior designers often drew inspiration from. The simple, romantic impression is emphasized by, in addition to the sparsely scattered flower sprigs, also the thinly “embroidered” edge. The character is thus 18th century romantic, without being pretentious and the curtain fits perfectly both in period interiors and in less period rooms. The curtain is woven exclusively for Gysinge on mid-19th century looms at Scotland’s oldest curtain weaving mill.
Natural white cotton. Width 100 cm. Pattern height 22 cm.

Wash by hand, or machine wash on a gentle cycle, at 40 degrees. Shrinks 3-5%. Use fine detergent without bleach. Hang the curtain quite wet to make it even easier to iron. Fold the outer edges together and first stretch the curtain carefully to its original length. If possible, starch the curtain to make it last longer and keep its freshness. Iron with a hot iron.
