Antique Swedish Rug

About the Item

Beautiful flatweave Swedish rug. Based on the geometric abstract design, colors, and visible initials "MG" in the bottom right corner of the front (seen in the third image), this piece is highly likely to be a mid-century modern design by Marianne Richter or Märta Gahn, both well-known names from the Svensk Hemslöjd or AB Märta Måås-Fjetterström workshops. Here's how the value breaks down: Designer attribution: If it is by Marianne Richter (the MG initials support this), it is a significant piece. Her works are highly collectible and appear at auctions like Bukowskis, Sotheby’s, and Lauritz. Size: Approximately 6.8 x 9.8 ft (about 207 x 299 cm) – a desirable size for collectors and decorators alike. Condition: From what I can see, the condition seems good—no visible moth damage or major discoloration. The back stamps also help with authenticity The rug in the third image is a Swedish flat weave, also known as a Rölakan. These types of rugs are known for their mid-century modern aesthetic, geometric patterns, and often feature signature monograms woven into the design or reverse (like in your first two images).
