What makes vintage Swedish rugs so popular among both art collectors and interior designers? Their stunning patterns combined with superior quality are unrivaled, but real charm of Swedish rugs comes from the source of their inspiration – traditional crafts. Martha Gahn was one of Swedish weavers who were keenly aware of that. Her stunning works draw from classic Swedish patterns, yet she managed to rework them, creating something new, but strangely familiar. While some of her works are available for viewing in museums and art galleries, Doris Leslie Blau is presenting you with an unique opportunity to purchase one of vintage Swedish rugs woven by Martha Gahn herself.

The pattern of this carpet features a modern design of geometric and circular shapes, brought together in a fascinating composition.

A perfect combination of beauty and utility, this carpet is a dream come true of any rug aficionado
