This striking vintage Swedish flat-weave rug, attributed to the renowned textile artist Ingrid Fledelius and signed with the initials “FLB,” is a standout example of mid-20th-century Scandinavian design. Woven in the traditional rölakan technique, the piece combines geometric rigor with inviting warmth.

The rug features a balanced and rhythmic pattern of vertical panels in rich ochre, goldenrod, and amber hues. These bands are punctuated by stylized crosses in ivory and chocolate brown, creating a harmonious interplay of color and form. Striped segments add a subtle textural variation that enhances the depth of the composition. A border of alternating rectangular blocks frames the central field, reinforcing the architectural clarity of the design.
