Details

Sigrid Maria (Maja) Andersson Wirde (1873–1952) was a leading Swedish textile artist in the first half of the 20th century. From 1907, she worked for 20 years as a pattern designer for the Friends of Handicraft or Handarbetets Vänner in Stockholm where she created large carpets for Stockholm City Hall and textiles for the transatlantic liner MS Kungsholm. In 1929, she moved to the United States to work for the Cranbrook Academy of Art in Detroit, producing high-quality fabrics and carpets for the newly built Kingswood Girls' School. In 1933, she returned to Sweden where she opened a textile business in her native Algutsboda, employing some 20 embroiderers and weavers to create textiles for churches.
