Swedish bonads are a traditional form of decorative textile art from Sweden, particularly associated with rural folk culture in the 18th and 19th centuries. The word bonad literally means “decoration” or “ornament,” and these textiles were used to adorn walls, especially in farmhouses, during special occasions or festivals.
