About the Item
Vintage Swedish Green Flat Woven Rug by Marianne Richter AB MMF
Size: 5'10" × 8'5" (177 × 256 cm)
This captivating vintage Swedish flat woven rug, designed by Marianne Richter for AB Märta Måås-Fjetterström (AB MMF), is a testament to the masterful artistry of mid-century Scandinavian textile design. Created in the 1950s, the piece exemplifies Richter’s innovative use of color and geometric structure to create rhythm and depth in a flat weave.
The rug presents an all-over patchwork motif, composed of rectangular and square blocks in rich hues of green, teal, moss, and olive, interspersed with earthy browns and soft blues. The variety of patterns within each block—ranging from tight vertical stripes to dotted rows and subtle weaves—introduces visual texture and movement, giving the impression of a shifting mosaic.
A dark border with alternating squares in deep aubergine and green tones grounds the composition and subtly frames the interior geometry. The effect is both modern and organic, evoking natural landscapes from an aerial perspective or abstract expressionism in woven form.
Handwoven in wool, this rug not only offers exceptional craftsmanship and durability but also stands as a collector’s item, bearing Richter’s distinctive initials “MR” and the AB MMF hallmark woven into the edge.
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.
