Swedish Flat Woven by Birgitta Soderkvist

Offered by: Doris Leslie Blau Rugs

Description
This vintage Swedish flat-weave wool rug by Brigitta Solderkvist with woven initials (BS) at a corner constitutes the essence of Scandinavian craftsmanship. Both its execution and design exhibit timeless qualities. The open field features delicate striations in yellow and beige shades running selvage to selvage blending seamlessly from one to the next. A wide geometric border composed of a pattern of stepped diamonds takes the central stage in hues of yellow, green and brown on a beige background. Beautiful fringe on the vintage rug’s top and bottom part is a nice finishing touch, which gives it even more charm.
