On May 21, King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia visited the studio and workshop of Märta Måås-Fjetterström in Båstad. Märta Livia Vilhelmina Måås-Fjetterström (1873 – 1941) was a leading Swedish textile artist of the early 20th century. Her works are exhibited in some of the world’s most important art museums, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Victoria and Albert Museum.
In 1924, King Gustaf V honoured Märta Måås-Fjetterström with the royal medal Litteris et Artibus, and King Gustaf VI Adolf had many of her carpets in his home at Ulriksdal Palace. Gustaf VI Adolf also visited the workshop in Båstad regularly. The most recent work in the royal collections is a woven carpet presented to the King by the Swedish parliament and government as the official gift for his 80th birthday.
Silvia in red - simply wonderful!
