About the Item

Vintage Swedish Flat-Weave Rug by Agda Österberg, circa 1950s Size: 5'5" × 7'8" (165 × 233 cm) This captivating vintage Swedish flat-weave rug, designed by the renowned textile artist Agda Österberg, beautifully showcases the balance of simplicity and sophistication that defines Scandinavian modernism. Woven in the mid-20th century, this piece is a testament to Österberg’s mastery of color harmony and geometric form. The rug’s field is composed of soft, subtly shifting blocks of pale pink, cream, and dusty rose, creating a checkerboard pattern that feels both structured and serene. Around this central field, bands of more vivid pinks and corals create a gentle frame, accented by charming green cross motifs that punctuate the borders at regular intervals. A further outer border features small, stepped geometric medallions in muted tones of ivory, powder blue, and sandy beige, lending a rhythmic, almost musical quality to the design. The overall palette is light, delicate, and utterly Scandinavian, making this rug an ideal piece for interiors aiming for warmth, tranquility, and refined visual texture. Handwoven in pure wool, it also embodies the high-quality craftsmanship associated with Swedish textile arts of the period. Whether used as a floor covering or wall hanging, this piece carries the timeless elegance and subtle innovation of Agda Österberg’s work, making it not only a decorative asset but also a collectible piece of 20th-century design history. 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.
