About the Item

Vintage Swedish Flat Weave Rug by Bitte Ahlgren Size: 7'5" × 9'10" (226 × 299 cm) Designed by esteemed Swedish textile artist Bitte Ahlgren, this vintage flat-weave rug is a masterclass in subtle geometry and Scandinavian restraint. Woven circa the 1950s, it exemplifies the clean lines and muted palettes that defined mid-century Swedish design, while adding a distinctive, artistic touch. The rug features a soothing field of variegated green, woven with fine gradations of yellow and teal to create a soft, nearly iridescent effect. The minimalist interior is bordered by a series of rectangular panels in alternating shades of mustard gold, celadon green, and ice blue, each framed by a pale ivory border with crisp, jagged edges. These repeating motifs subtly echo traditional Swedish geometric patterns while maintaining a thoroughly modern sensibility. Executed in durable, handwoven wool, the rug is both practical and elegant—ideal for grounding an interior with understated color and texture. Its simplicity belies the level of craftsmanship and control in color blending, making it a quiet yet powerful design statement. This piece is a testament to Ahlgren’s thoughtful approach to design and her ability to harmonize folk art traditions with modernist principles. 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.
