Swedish machine woven half linen fabric of solid quality, suitable as a cover fabric for upholstered furniture and for so-called half curtains. Now in even better and more rustic quality. The fabric is now woven in an old loom with a shuttle and thus has smooth, fine city edges, which do not need to be hemmed or cut away. Available in two traditional color schemes, red and white after a model from Röö parish in Uppland and blue and white after an original fabric at Skokloster Castle. Both models are from the 18th century, but the fabric as a variety is found throughout the country during both the 18th and 19th centuries.

Classic surface-mounted switch in black porcelain without a knob in a design that was common in Europe during the first half of the 20th century.
This switch has a so-called cross function, which means that it should only be used if more than two switches are to control the same light source from different locations in a room, staircase or corridor. The cross-function switch is then mounted between two staircase switches.
If an ordinary switch is required to turn a light source on and off, or if two switches are connected to the same light source, a step switch should be selected instead.
In the side of the base there is an opening for cable exit for surface-mounted electrical wiring, but it can also be mounted for recessed wall box in combination with any of Fontini’s base plates.
For surface mounting on wood paneling or other flammable material, an insulating plastic base plate should be used as additional fire protection.
Combine the switch with the optional knob sold separately. See related products below.

Raw cold-pressed linseed oil of the highest quality. Natural and without chemical additives. Cold-pressed linseed oil is extracted from linseed by pressing when the linseed is cold. This ancient method produces the highest and purest quality of linseed oil.
Unbeatable for impregnating wood exposed to moisture, such as boats and water barrels. Raw linseed oil dries slowly, sometimes never. Therefore, it should not be used on surfaces that will later be painted with linseed oil paint. It can cause blistering.
Tips! Raw linseed oil is also ideal for impregnating planters and grow boxes.
ATTENTION! Keep in mind that paper and rags with linseed oil can catch fire. Put them in a water-filled bucket after use.

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.

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”.

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. This makes the curtain very modern, yet very traditional.
Mosquito net curtains are usually plain white. Another unusual feature is that it is as narrow, only 65 centimeters, as a modern panel curtain, which also means that its width still feels very current. 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.

Great for repairing glaze damage on tiled stoves etc.
Pond varnish is traditionally used on tiled stoves instead of linseed oil paint. This is because pond varnish does not turn yellow when the stove gets hot.
Prepare the duster solution in the same way as when making linseed oil paint. Stir the color pigments with the dust solution to form a porridge. Then dilute with additional solution to the appropriate consistency. If the kiln is really old and dull, you can dilute the colored duster solution with turpentine, so that it becomes less shiny. If the damage to the glaze consists only of small scratches or occasional chips, it is usually sufficient to paint over them with a dusting solution as above, and omit the plasterwork altogether. With the right color in the wounds, they will disappear to the eye anyway. Repeat the treatment if the paint did not cover enough the first time.
Tips! V years of experience is that Gysinge linseed oil paint does not yellow like others. Therefore, as an alternative to a dust solution, try painting the damage with Gysinge paint instead.

Chains of the so-called patent model to be used for draft dampers on tiled stoves, spiral valves, etc. Thin, flexible and supple, yet strong and durable.
Can be mounted in two ways; Firstly, as a single length hanging arch. This method is suitable for spiral valves, for example. Partly hanging in two lengths with damper tassels as termination. This was common on the draught dampers of tiled stoves.
Normally, 150-200 cm of chain is needed depending on how high the stove is and how far down you want the chain to hang. The easiest way to shorten or cut the chain is with wire cutters.
Brass. Sold per meter. Width 3 mm.
