Mid-Century Scandinavian Geometric Pale Sand Flatweave Wool Rug By Agda ÖSterberg BB8060 6'4" × 9'9" $17,000

This vintage Scandinavian flatweave wool rug by Agda Österberg reflects the clear modern language of mid-century textile design, pairing disciplined geometry with a softened, luminous palette. Its handwoven surface has the crisp, tailored quality associated with Swedish flatweaves, making it a refined choice for collectors of vintage Scandinavian rugs.

The composition is built around a quiet compartmental grid in pale sand, powder blue, and slate blue, with each rectangular panel shifting subtly in tone for a calm, layered effect. Along the perimeter, a narrow trellis-like band of small cream and blush blocks creates rhythm, while the inner border is punctuated by rosy-pink dots that lend the otherwise restrained design a gentle sense of movement. The result is geometric, but never severe.

Cool lavender and dusty blue notes deepen the edges, while the softly washed field keeps the rug open and versatile beneath contemporary or period furnishings. Finished with a subtle fringe and signed with Österberg’s initials, it offers the measured elegance and decorative clarity that define her work.

Sourced from the expansive Doris Leslie Blau collection, this vintage rug exemplifies the gallery's passion for preserving remarkable carpets of enduring beauty.
