Buy up of folk art tablecloths and cushions
The rich and colourful world of Hungarian folk art has preserved its traditions for centuries. The hand-embroidered tablecloths, cushions, wall hangings and woven fabrics are not only home decorations, but also valuable cultural heritage. Often handed down from generation to generation, sometimes forgotten, waiting to be rediscovered in the depths of drawers.
These handcrafted creations are not just decorative, they tell a story – each stitch, colour choice and motif tells a story about the past, communities and family traditions. The Kalocsa, Matyó or Palóc designs are not only aesthetically valuable, but also part of Hungarian identity. An embroidered cushion or a wall protector can be a reminder of an old wedding, a holiday or a day in the life of the family, so these objects are also priceless for their sentimental value.
Today, more and more people are rediscovering the beauty of these old treasures. An embroidered tablecloth, for example, can be given a new lease of life in a modern home, excitingly combining the past with the present.
Our gallery has been dealing with the buy up of Hungarian and Transylvanian folk art textiles for years. Our aim is to ensure that these handmade creations – whether they are 50 or 100 years old – are not lost, but find value again. We work with correct, transparent valuations, cash buy ups and discreet administration – we are happy to view a single item or an entire heritage.
What do we buy up?
We are particularly looking for:
Hand-embroidered decorative tablecloths – with designs related to Matyó, Kalocsa, Mud, Field, Palóc or other regions.
Traditional folk motifs on pillowcases – either embroidered on linen or cotton.
Tapestries, bedspreads, woven fabrics, curtains – tapestries with text or figurative textiles depicting folk scenes.
