About Märta Gahn:
The Swedish master weaver Märta Gahn (1891-1973) had a long and successful career as a weaver and textile designer creating some of the first printed fabrics featuring Scandinavian art deco designs.
From 1910 -1915, Gahn attended Stockholm’s School of Higher Art and Design. Märta Gahn was honored by being one of several Swedish weavers with works selected for the International Exhibition of 1925 held in Paris as well as a 1927 exhibition of northern European area rugs organized by the Musée des Arts Décoratifs following the success of Sweden’s appearance in the previous event.
Gahn’s work is both unique and representative of important developments in mid-century Scandinavian rug design. The traditional is married with the modern, and a bright pallet infuses life into her work. A uniquely talented figure, Gahn is considered one of the premier mid-century modern designers of magnificent Swedish area rugs and carpets.
As a master weaver represented by the Society of Swedish Homecraft, Märta Gahn’s rugs are signed with the initials MG.
