Tapestries by Hans Krondahl — Hans Krondahl is an internationally known Swedish textile designer, fiber artist, tapestry weaver and painter. Born in Sweden, he was one of the most prominent faces of Scandinavian designs during the 1960s and 1970s. His designs continue to inspire the textile designers and artists today. Nazmiyal and proud to have a number of Hans Krondahl tapestries in our collection!
Born in Sweden in 1929, Krondahl joined the National College of Art, Craft and Design in Stockholm in 1955 and graduated in 1959. Immediately after graduating, he started teaching textile art and design in schools and colleges. Although he soon became a renowned and much sought after textile designer, he continued to teach in schools and colleges in his native country as well as internationally.
In 1962, he set up his own weaving studio, where he worked on large-scale tapestries and also designed industrially printed textiles for Swedish companies. His designs soon caught the attention of the public and his work became increasingly popular and sought after. In 1965, he was awarded the prestigious Lunning Prize for his contribution in establishing the concept and profile of Scandinavian design at home and internationally. Starting in 1974, Krondahl worked periodically in the USA, but continued to live in Sweden. He headed the textile departments at the College of Arts, Crafts and Designs, in Stockholm, from 1977 to 1978, the National College of Art and Design, Oslo, from 1978 to 1979, and the HDK School of Design and Crafts of the Gothenburg University, Gothenburg, from 1981 to 1988.
In 1988, he was appointed Professor of Textile Art at the Gothenburg University, where he taught until 1995. Krondahl also held the position of Textile Design Expert for the United Nations International Development Organization (UNIDO) in Indonesia from 1979 to 1980. He also collaborated with several organizations including Borås Wäfveri AB and Ljungbergs Textiltryck AB, Floda, Sweden. Nazmiyal antique rug collection is pleased to have a number of Hans Krondahl tapestries in our collection.

Twenty or so years ago my father gave me a beautiful antique Persian rug - after so many years (and kids and pets) it needed some TLC, so I brought it to Nazmiyal. I just picked it up today and - wow! They got the stains out entirely and the entire rug is brighter; they also made some repairs - it's back in my living room and looks fantastic, and the bill was lower than I'd expected. Overall it was a great experience - the people are wonderful, the work was perfect, and I saw so many beautiful rugs at their store that I found myself wishing for a larger apartment. Next time I need any work done on a rug, or find an open bit of floor I know where I'll be heading.

It is always a delight going to the Nazmiyal showroom. This Qashqai is one of several purchases made over the years, and mom is truly enjoying it. Jason and the staff are very knowledgeable and friendly. They listen to the customeru2019s needs. When I go to the showroom, it is like visiting my family because we have the same appreciation for the textile arts.nnOriental carpets are a rare discipline to be educated in, because you canu2019t go to a university to have certain types of training and experience, such as knowing the cultures and processes of carpet weaving. Jason has such a refined eye that he can distinguish a good rug from a great rug, and that knowledge is offered to the customer to elevate their point of view.nnComing here has been an initiation into a world of culture, art, and beauty which has sustained me, and for that I am grateful.

Loved my runner rug purchase from Nazmiyal. Love the ability to purchase, try and return if it didn't work out! I had it shipped to California and everything worked out beautifully!

NAZMIYAL is the best source for antique and vintage rugs and carpets. Staff is extremely knowledgeable, Jason himself is an amazing dealer who handpicks each and every piece in his stunning collection and is happy to educate the consumer, not just make a sale. I always trust his experience and great eye for all my spaces!

I had an absolutely wonderful experience working with Nazmiyal. I was very impressed by their selection, the quality of their beautiful carpets, and their extremely reasonable prices. Really I cannot say enough about how helpful everyone at the gallery was - especially Omri, work with him if you can! - and how happy I am with my new antique rug. Five stars, highly, highly recommended!
