About the Item
Vintage Swedish Flat Weave Rug “The Girls in the Window” Designed by Edna Martin
Size: 5'1" × 8'2" (154 × 248 cm)
This enchanting vintage Swedish flat-weave rug, titled “The Girls in the Window”, is a quintessential work by celebrated Swedish textile designer Edna Martin. Woven in the mid-20th century, this rug blends Scandinavian modernism with playful folk-art charm, reflecting Martin’s distinctive ability to combine narrative whimsy with geometric sophistication.
The design features rows of stylized female figures—interpreted as abstract portraits—set within graphic “window” frames, each rendered in variations of red, blue, gray, and plum against a serene field of tonal blue. These repeating vignettes are bordered by stepped and diamond-shaped motifs that echo the rhythm and symmetry of traditional Swedish weaving, while adding a dynamic frame to the central tableau.
Executed in handwoven wool using the rölakan technique, the rug showcases exceptional craftsmanship and color blending. The palette of cool Nordic blues accented with bursts of vibrant hues gives it a soothing yet spirited character—ideal for both contemporary and eclectic interiors seeking a piece with story and soul.
As both a textile and a piece of visual art, “The Girls in the Window” stands as a rare collector’s piece, encapsulating the golden era of Swedish textile design.
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.
