Vintage Handwoven Ivory Berber Rug or Runner in the Style of Elsa Gullberg

About the Item

A vintage ivory small-pile rug or runner in Morrocan berber wool. The subject matter are flowers and leaves and everything is done by hand. The colors are neutral and subtle and the design is organic and underplayed. It has an almost primitive or Folk Art appeal to it. It was made sometime between 1950-70, presumably in Sweden or Morroco, where its materials definitely is from. There are some resemblance to Beni Ourain but in your opinion this rug, that was bought at a closed Catholic Monastary in Denmark, has more to it. Stylistically it is closer to some of Elsa Gulllberg's earlier designs. Measurements: 126x92 cm. If you have any information that will get us closer to identifying this piece please let us know. The neutral colors of the rug make it appropriate for almost any color scheme in the room. It is works well alongside other neutrals, or among brighter colors to tone them down. This fine berber rug is an excellent addition to any modern eco friendly interior design from more minimalist designs to Scandinavian, antique settings and many others. Its versatility is immense.
