About the Item
Vintage Swedish Flat Woven by Kerstin Persson
Size: 6'7" × 9'3" (200 × 281 cm)
A masterclass in mid-century Scandinavian textile design, this vintage flat-weave rug by Kerstin Persson is a rare and refined piece that reflects the hallmarks of Swedish craftsmanship: clarity of form, balance of color, and a deep respect for artisanal technique. Woven in the 1950s, the rug features a striking modular composition of interlocking cross-like motifs, arranged in a symmetrical grid that evokes a sense of quiet rhythm and order. Each geometric form is precisely rendered yet softened by the texture of the weave and gentle shifts in hue, showcasing Persson’s nuanced understanding of color and structure. The palette is unmistakably Nordic—anchored in cool aqua, teal, seafoam, olive, and wheat tones, all set against a softly gradated ivory and sage background. These hues feel drawn from nature—evoking forest moss, lake water, and golden fields—infusing the design with both warmth and serenity. Crafted using the traditional Rölakan technique, a flat-weaving method deeply rooted in Swedish folk traditions, the rug is durable, lightweight, and beautifully tactile. The crisp edges and fringed ends add to its handmade charm.
Offered by Doris Leslie Blau, a premier source for vintage and antique rugs, this piece is an authentic example of post-war Swedish weaving—valued for its craftsmanship, design clarity, and enduring style. Doris Leslie Blau offers a wide range of pricing tailored to collectors, designers, and discerning homeowners—from accessible vintage gems to exclusive investment-level pieces.
