About the Item

Mid Century Swedish flat woven rug by Bitte Ahlgren (BA) Size: 5'4" × 9'0" (162 × 274 cm) This vintage Swedish flat weave rug, signed "BA", exemplifies the balance of utility, color harmony, and geometric clarity that defines Scandinavian textile design. Woven in Sweden in the mid-20th century, the piece features a beautifully subdued palette of dusty blues, soft grays, and gentle creams, punctuated by subtle pops of lavender and rose in the stylized cross motifs framing the field. The rug’s composition is architecturally structured, with a central blue field bordered by a frame of square compartments—each alternating between minimalist motifs and more decorative X-shaped patterns. The border itself resembles a checkerboard of handwoven artistry, blending symmetry with gentle variation in tone and texture. Crafted using traditional flatweave techniques, the rug displays a meticulous attention to detail, with tight, durable weft and warp interlocking to create both tactile strength and visual rhythm. The artist’s initials "BA" are subtly woven into one corner, signaling both authorship and a connection to Sweden’s rich heritage of modernist textile craft. With its unique pattern and refined colors, this vintage rug reflects the impeccable taste of Doris Leslie Blau’s selections. Offering both rare, high-end pieces and more accessible options, Doris Leslie Blau presents rugs in a wide spectrum of prices.
