About the Item

Vintage Swedish Flat-Weave Wool Rug by Agda Österberg Size: 6'5" × 9'1" (195 × 276 cm) This captivating vintage Swedish rug, attributed to renowned textile designer Agda Österberg, exemplifies the clean precision and subtle warmth of Scandinavian modernism. Woven circa 1950s, the piece showcases a masterful interplay of crisp geometry and inviting color, achieved through a classic plaid pattern rendered in soft brick red, rust, and ivory tones. The design is constructed from interlocking vertical and horizontal bands of alternating thickness, forming a rhythmic grid that echoes the structure and order of mid-century Scandinavian design. Its seemingly simple motif is elevated by the nuanced tonal gradation in the reds and a careful balance of positive and negative space. Woven in flat-weave kilim technique using hand-spun wool, the rug possesses both durability and a tactile softness underfoot. A small woven monogram in the corner—likely Österberg’s signature mark—adds a rare and personal touch. This exquisite rug is part of the diversified Doris Leslie Blau selections, renowned for its curated selection of antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs. Doris Leslie Blau offers a vast selection of antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs in a wide range of styles, materials, and price points, making fine textile art accessible to both collectors and designers alike.
