What is unusual about this curtain is the discrete color element in the form of thin, large squares surrounding groups of “mosquito scale windows” in the pattern. It makes the curtain very modern, yet very traditional. Mosquito screen curtains are usually plain white. Another unusual feature is that it is as narrow, only 65 centimeters, as a modern panel curtain, which also makes it still feel very current in width. So-called panel curtains can be hung completely smooth, so that the pattern appears, but without the curtains obscuring the view. All in all, “Thea” is a suitable curtain for both the small windows in the cottage and the large ones in the city. The narrow width also means that the curtain can easily be pinned to a curtain board, preferably draped, as the neat selvedges do not even need to be hemmed.
Thea Olsson (1902-1993) was the only daughter of the Gästgivarns mining estate in Wall, which is one of the best-preserved mining estates in the Torsåker region of Gästrikland. When she died, she left behind a lot of valuable movable property, which was auctioned off because she had no family, but a large number of “useless” items remained on the farm, including this curtain, which she probably wove herself.
Thea Olsson and her mother Ida were known to be good at needlework. This curtain pattern is a non-period pattern, which probably left the loom sometime between 1920 and 1940.

Curtain rod from the mid-19th century, typical thin rod with elegant hand-turned end knobs in birch. Attached to the wall using hand-forged screw hooks.
The original pole, which comes from the farm Nästgårds in Sterte, Österfärnebo (now one of our exhibition houses) was painted with 5 percent carbon black gray and with buds in 100 percent carbon black.
The hooks are linseed oil burnt and therefore black.

Lace or thread curtains were a very common import in Sweden from the late 19th century until the Second World War. Many patterns, like this one, were woven in Scotland, where there is still a strong and living tradition of patterned curtains made from real cotton. This curtain is still woven on old looms in one of the few remaining weaving mills. The curtain is made of the finest ivory white cotton and magnificently patterned with roses in vases, garlands, ribbons and borders. A typical sumptuous 19th century pattern, suitable for the finest rooms in the house.
Machine-woven lace curtains were once considered the ultimate luxury (as opposed to simple home-woven ones!) and those who could really afford it would also buy curtains that were far too long and let them hang out on the floor, much like a bridal veil. The most famous home, where this type of hanging still lives on in unbroken tradition, is Karen Blixen’s Rungstedlund, just north of Copenhagen.
