About the Item

79038 Greta Kruse Vintage Swedish Rollakan Rug, 05'06 x 07'10. This handwoven wool vintage rollakan rug, crafted by the talented Swedish textile artist Greta Kruse, is a stunning testament to the enduring legacy of Scandinavian design. Bearing her signature initials "GK" in the lower corner, this Scandi flatweave rug reflects Kruse’s deep respect for Swedish weaving traditions, combined with a modern touch that makes her work timeless and distinctive. Her designs are known for blending intricate patterns with a contemporary aesthetic, creating pieces that are as functional as they are artistic. The Swedish rollakan rug features a captivating central field adorned with geometric medallions in soft hues of warm rose, ivory, and earthy browns. These medallions, with their stepped edges and layered color transitions, evoke the symmetry and precision of traditional Swedish folk motifs. The subtle touches of soft blue and sage green within the medallions add depth and visual interest, creating a harmonious balance of colors. This interplay of warm and cool tones is a hallmark of Kruse’s work, demonstrating her mastery in crafting textiles that feel both grounded and lively. Encircling the central field is a beautifully rendered border of geometric motifs, each meticulously woven in complementary shades. The interplay between the border’s angular design and the angular contours of the medallions creates a dynamic visual rhythm that draws the eye across the rug’s surface. The border's earthy palette, highlighted with touches of golden tan and accented by tiny ivory and blue squares, enhances the overall composition, lending the Swedish rollakan rug a sense of structure and continuity. Greta Kruse’s initials "GK" in the lower corner mark this rug as a genuine piece of her artistry. It serves as a reminder of her dedication to preserving the Scandinavian weaving tradition while also evolving it for modern sensibilities. This Scandi rollakan rug is more than a decorative element—it is a work of art that brings warmth, texture, and a connection to Swedish heritage into any space. Its beauty and craftsmanship make it an ideal addition for collectors, enthusiasts of Scandinavian design, and those seeking a timeless piece to enrich their interiors. Designed by: Greta Kruse. Signature Lower Corner Initials GK. Abrash. Handwoven wool. Made in Sweden. Measures: 05'06 x 07'10. Pile Height: 0.10 of an inch. Date: 1960's. Mid-20th Century.
