About the Item

Vintage Swedish Flat-Weave Rug by Mary Sanberg, Signed MS Size: 5'5" × 8'3" (165 × 251 cm) A striking example of mid-century Scandinavian textile artistry, this vintage Swedish flat-weave rug, designed by Mary Sanberg and signed “MS,” dates to the 1960s and showcases the timeless appeal of geometric symmetry and earthy tones. Woven by hand in Sweden, the rug features a mirrored central medallion layout flanked by symmetrical abstract floral motifs, all arranged with careful precision across a cream-colored ground. Sanberg’s palette consists of warm terra cotta, ochre, soft peach, goldenrod, and walnut brown—colors that evoke the natural Scandinavian landscape during autumn. These shades are expertly balanced and subtly blended through the use of striated wool, creating a pleasing interplay of light and depth. A pair of bold striped bars in mustard, brown, and ivory cut across the composition both vertically and horizontally, giving the design a rhythmic, architectural framework. Intricate stepped forms at the corners and small star-like floral motifs throughout further emphasize the folk-meets-modern aesthetic characteristic of 20th-century Swedish weaving. Fringed ends and a neatly bordered chocolate-brown frame complete the look. The initials "MS" are woven into the lower-left corner, affirming its designer provenance. This rug’s durability and textural richness, along with its balanced design and sophisticated palette, make it equally suited for traditional, rustic, or contemporary interiors. Rich in heritage and artistry, this handmade rug exemplifies the high standards of Doris Leslie Blau’s curated pieces. With a wide range of prices, Doris Leslie Blau makes exceptional rugs accessible to collectors and designers alike.
