Midcentury Blue Flat-Woven Wool Swedish Rug by Edna Martin BB4722 6'7" × 8'1" $12,000

This flat woven carpet by Edna Martin named ‘Girls in the Window’  incorporates a classic Scandinavian design that illustrates the before-mentioned title in a simplified way. Balanced and geometric, with a folkloric note, the pattern is rendered in a serene palette of pastel blues enhanced by beige, plum, navy and ochre. Everything is finished with a lovey fringe that boosts the delightful character of the composition. Carefully hand-woven of the finest wool in Svensk Hemslöjd (Swedish Home craft), the vintage rug embodies the finest features of the traditional Scandinavian craft. It shows in the remarkable condition which remained practically unchanged since the time of its making in the mid-20^th century. Provided minimum amount of care, this vintage carpet will serve its owners for further years bearing no signs of usage.
