About the Item

Vintage Swedish Flat Woven Rug by Berit Koenig Size: 6'6" × 7'10" (198 × 238 cm) This exceptional vintage Swedish flat-weave rug by Berit Koenig exemplifies the refined simplicity and enduring charm of mid-century Scandinavian textile design. Handwoven in the 20th century, the rug showcases a structured yet organic composition based on a repeating checkerboard of alternating geometric motifs. Warm, earthy tones of burnt sienna, charcoal, ivory, and rust lend the piece a grounded, natural character while reinforcing its handcrafted appeal. The rug's design is anchored by a balanced layout of alternating vertical tree-like motifs and diamond medallions, framed by textured striped dividers and surrounded by a rhythmic border of arrowhead shapes. The crisp geometry and symmetrical spacing create a harmonious visual rhythm—elegantly modern yet deeply rooted in Swedish folk traditions. Crafted in the classic röllakan technique, this flat-weave boasts a tight, durable structure and subtle texture that make it suitable for both decorative and practical use. Koenig’s initials—“BK”—are subtly integrated into the weave, a nod to the artistry and authorship behind this collectible textile. This exquisite rug is part of the diversified Doris Leslie Blau selections, 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.
