About the Item
Vintage Swedish Flat Weave Rug by Barbro Nilsson, Signed MMF at Doris Leslie Blau
Size: 6'8" × 10'7" (203 × 322 cm)
This vibrant vintage Swedish flat weave rug is a masterwork by the acclaimed textile artist Barbro Nilsson, created during her tenure as the artistic director of Märta Måås-Fjetterström (MMF) atelier. Handwoven in Sweden, this 11' × 8' piece beautifully embodies Nilsson’s distinct vision, where tradition and innovation meet in perfect harmony.
Rendered in a radiant palette of deep pinks, rich purples, and energetic oranges, the rug is arranged in vertical stripes that create a sense of dynamic rhythm and warmth. Each stripe is further adorned with rows of small, geometric diamond motifs in cool tones—such as icy blues, soft lilacs, and steely greys—that punctuate the composition like notes on a musical scale. These accents add texture and intricacy without overwhelming the balance of the overall design.
The tight flat weave structure—typical of Scandinavian craftsmanship—makes the rug both visually striking and highly durable. The artistry is unmistakably Scandinavian, but the saturated colors and almost tribal simplicity of the motifs lend it a universal, timeless appeal. Subtle color gradations and handwoven irregularities celebrate the handmade nature of the piece, giving it depth and character.
Signed “AB MMF” in the weave, this rug is not only a functional textile but also a collectible piece of 20th-century design heritage. Whether placed in a modern, mid-century, or eclectic interior, this Barbro Nilsson rug is sure to infuse the space with authenticity, color, and an enduring sense of artistry.
With its unique pattern and refined colors, this vintage rug reflects the impeccable taste of Doris Leslie Blau’s selections. Offering both rare, high-end pieces and more accessible options, Doris Leslie Blau presents rugs in a wide spectrum of prices.
