About the Item

Vintage Swedish Rug by Marta Mass Fjetterstrom Size: 9'1" × 12'2" (276 × 370 cm) ​This vintage Swedish flat-weave rug, crafted circa 1948, is a testament to the visionary artistry of Märta Måås-Fjetterström (1873–1941), a luminary in Scandinavian textile design. The rug features a bold geometric composition: two central rows of rectangles are framed by multiple intricate borders adorned with zig-zag patterns, stylized flower heads, and serrated motifs. This design exemplifies Måås-Fjetterström's innovative approach to reviving traditional weaving techniques, resulting in works that resonate with both historical significance and modern aesthetic appeal.​ Måås-Fjetterström's legacy is marked by her unique ability to blend rural Nordic traditions with emerging modernist trends of the early 20th century. Her contributions have been recognized globally, with her works housed in esteemed institutions such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. This particular rug embodies her commitment to craftsmanship and design excellence, making it a valuable addition to any collection.​ 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.
