About the Item
Vintage Swedish Flat Woven Rug by Kerstin Persson
Size: 5'7" × 7'4" (170 × 223 cm)
Color: Aqua-blue, Beige, Green, Yellow.
This vintage Swedish flat weave rug, designed by Kerstin Persson in the 1950s, is a striking example of Scandinavian textile artistry. Showcasing a harmonious interplay of geometric form and restrained color, the rug features a series of interlocking cross motifs in varying shades of moss green, soft turquoise, and wheat gold, arranged symmetrically across the field. These forms are framed by a dual-layered border in muted beige and olive, lending structure and depth to the composition.
Handwoven in wool, the rug is executed in the classic rölakan technique—Sweden’s traditional flat weave method—resulting in a reversible textile with exceptional durability. The use of marled yarns enhances the visual texture, with subtle tonal variations that give the design a painterly quality.
This piece exemplifies Persson’s ability to balance folk tradition with modern sensibilities. Her work often reflects the mid-century Swedish ethos: a celebration of nature through abstraction and the belief that functional objects should also be beautiful.
Rich in heritage and artistry, this handmade rug exemplifies the high standards of Doris Leslie Blau’s curated pieces. With a wide range of prices, Doris Leslie Blau makes exceptional rugs accessible to collectors and designers alike.
