Bengta Eskilsson née Nilsdotter (1836–1923) was a pioneering Swedish textile artist who helped to safeguard Scanian weaving traditions. In 1887, she established a successful weaving school and textile business in Lund which she ran for many years together with her daughters and nieces. The pieces and patterns produced by the school were appreciated at home and abroad. She won silver medals at several Swedish exhibitions and a gold medal at the 1900 Paris World Fair. Several of her works were bought by royalty.
