About the Item

79066 Anna Johanna Angstrom Vintage Swedish Pile Rug, 04'08 x 06'07. The "Williams" hand-knotted wool Swedish pile rug by Anna Johanna Angstrom is a striking tribute to Scandinavian modernist artistry, skillfully marrying playful abstract forms with bold color palettes. Angstrom's signature design ethos is captured beautifully in this Swedish pile rug, named after the fruit-inspired motifs that dominate its composition. Featuring an interplay of organically shaped pears in warm, nature-inspired hues such as rich terracotta, earthy greens, and a splash of blue, the composition offers a balanced yet dynamic visual narrative. The contrast between the curvilinear forms and scattered polka-dot accents imbues the Swedish rug with a sense of joyous whimsy, transforming any space into an artful and inspiring environment. Angstrom's "Williams" design reveals a keen attention to detail and craftsmanship inherent to Scandinavian rug-making traditions. The use of hand-knotting techniques ensures a level of durability and texture that is both luxurious and inviting. Each knot and thread is a testament to the dedication of skilled artisans who bring Angstrom’s vision to life, allowing the Swedish pile rug to retain its form and luster through generations. The tactile appeal of the wool material adds depth, making it a versatile piece suitable for a variety of interior styles—from minimalist modern to eclectic bohemian. The organic motifs of the "Williams" Axeco rug go beyond decorative beauty; they evoke connections to nature and Scandinavian heritage. Angstrom’s playful representation of pears, rendered in simplified, abstract forms, symbolizes abundance, vitality, and the cyclical beauty of nature. The polka-dot accents add a lighthearted touch, reminiscent of seeds or scattered blossoms, enhancing the organic theme that permeates the design. This harmonious blend of natural elements and contemporary aesthetics exemplifies Ångström’s ability to infuse everyday motifs with cultural depth and artistic refinement. This hand knotted Swedish rug's captivating visual and textural qualities make it more than a floor covering; it serves as a statement piece that draws viewers into its whimsical yet rooted world. Whether showcased in a living room, gallery, or workspace, this Scandinavian masterpiece is a testament to Anna Johanna Angstrom’s enduring legacy in Swedish textile design, blending modernist aesthetics with timeless craft. It invites contemplation, admiration, and a deeper appreciation of the artistry woven into every knot. Designed by: Anna Johanna Angstrom for Axeco. Title: Williams. Signature Lower Corner Initials A. Abrash. Hand knotted wool. Made in Sweden. Measures: 04'08 x 06'07. Pile Height: 0.19 of an inch. Date: 1980's. Late 20th Century.
