About the Item

Vintage Swedish Flat Weave rug by Agda Osterberg Size: 6'5" × 10'0" (195 × 304 cm) ​The vintage Swedish flat-weave rug by Agda Österberg, crafted circa 1949, exemplifies the harmonious blend of modernist design and traditional Scandinavian craftsmanship. Measuring approximately 6'5" × 10'0" (195 × 304 cm), this handwoven wool piece features a dynamic geometric composition. The design consists of a grid of rectangles, strips, crosses, and other geometric shapes, all enclosed within a structured border. The rug's color palette includes yellow, blue, purple, green, black, beige, and light orange, contributing to its vibrant yet balanced aesthetic. ​ Agda Österberg (1891–1987) was a prominent figure in Swedish textile design, known for her innovative approach that combined elements of cubism, Art Deco, and traditional motifs. Her work often explored geometric abstractions and totemic forms, resulting in compositions that are both visually striking and culturally resonant. Österberg's contributions have significantly influenced the development of Scandinavian modern design. ​ This rug is part of the esteemed Doris Leslie Blau collection, renowned for its curated selection of antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs. Doris Leslie Blau offers a vast selection of antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs in a wide range of styles, materials, and price points, making fine textile art accessible to both collectors and designers alike.
