Vintage Swedish Rug by Agda Österberg
Size: 5'5" × 7'5" (165 × 226 cm)
Age: Vintage
Color: Beige, Cream, Gray, Pink, Purple
Origin: Scandinavia
This exquisite vintage Swedish flat-weave rug is a creation of renowned textile artist Agda Österberg, a leading figure in mid-20th-century Scandinavian design. Crafted circa 1940s, the piece embodies the soft elegance and refined geometry that typify Österberg’s aesthetic.
The design is composed of a rhythmic arrangement of interlocking diamonds and triangles, rendered in a delicate palette of pastel tones—soft lavender, muted apricot, pale sage, powder blue, and blush pink—all floating over a warm ivory ground. The geometric motifs are defined with precise stepped outlines, creating a gentle interplay between form and negative space.
Woven in wool on linen, the rug showcases the signature Swedish flat-weave technique (Rölakan), known for its durability, reversibility, and clean finish. The subtle modulation in color and form gives the piece a sense of serenity and balance, while the precision of execution underscores Österberg’s deep understanding of pattern and structure. The rug bears a woven signature in the corner: a stylized "A", affirming its design origin.
Showcasing the finest materials and patterns, this design is part of the expansive Doris Leslie Blau collection, renowned for its rare and unique finds across a wide range of prices.
