Curtains of this type are universal. They were present in all social environments from the 19th to the early 20th century. They were available both as curtain robes on boards and as long curtains. Mounted as a cape, you get two capes out of the width of the curtain.

History: Karlsgården in Järvsö, one of Sweden’s most well-preserved old farms, was opened in the late 1920s. For the new role as a museum farm, Karls was provided with newly woven curtains in traditional style from Hemslöjden. The newly composed pattern was named “Karlsgårdsgardinen”. By chance, however, one of the neighbors of the farm took one of the old curtains that was still hanging. Much simpler and much more archaic in pattern. As if by chance, the same neighbor rewove the pattern in the 1960s, but the curtain and its important original story fell into oblivion for a while. Now Gysinge has rediscovered the old curtains, woven new samples, test washed, ironed and mangled. And we feel that we have one of Sweden’s most beautiful, refined, simple and genuine curtains to offer our customers. The curtain is available in plaid with a simple “checkerboard” (original) and as a “stick stripe” with equal width stripes over the entire surface. Less is more, you could say about both patterns.
