Allbäck Linseed Oil

Allbäck Linseed Oil Products – Traditional Craftsmanship, Modern Integrity

Allbäck is a family-run Swedish company renowned for reviving traditional linseed-based finishes rooted in centuries-old craftsmanship. Based in Ystad, southern Sweden, Allbäck has been producing pure, solvent-free linseed oil products since 1982 – combining historical knowledge with a commitment to environmental responsibility.

At Woodsmith, we stock their cold-pressed raw and boiled linseed oils, along with a select range of their Linseed Oil Paints. All of Allbäck’s oils are filtered, sterilised, and aged for optimal performance – whether used for wood finishing, paint making, or restoration work.

Unlike many modern alternatives, Allbäck products are free from synthetic solvents and dryers. Their linseed oil paint, made with natural pigments and aged Swedish linseed oil, provides exceptional coverage, breathability, and durability – as proven on restoration projects including Château de Versailles and Copenhagen’s Amalienborg Palace.

With Allbäck, you’re working with a material that’s been trusted by craftspeople for centuries – made with integrity, and designed to last.
