Vintage Swedish Geometric Flat-Weave Wool by Anna-Greta Sjöqvist BB5686 5'2" × 8'0" $18,000

A visually captivating piece of mid-century Swedish textile artistry, this vintage flat-weave rug by Anna-Greta Sjoqvist stands as a testament to the refined balance of form and color that defines Scandinavian design. Handwoven circa 1950, the rug features a meticulously structured grid layout composed of rectangular blocks, each housing stylized geometric motifs evocative of traditional Nordic symbolism.

The alternating color palette blends muted denim blue, dusty rose, ivory, and slate gray, with subtle accents of golden ochre adding a touch of warmth and contrast. These harmonious hues are softened by the wool’s natural texture, contributing to the overall elegance of the piece.

The layout is rhythmically arranged in vertical columns separated by narrow striped bands, enhancing the visual cadence and symmetry. Each motif within the blocks appears like a stylized emblem, offering a sense of cultural heritage while maintaining a modernist restraint. The rug is framed by a minimalist border in a soft beige with golden tones and finished with braided fringes on either end, reinforcing the handcrafted appeal.

Signed with woven initials in one corner, this rug not only embodies the artistic identity of Sjoqvist but also represents a rare collectible from the golden era of Swedish design. Ideal for both vintage and contemporary interiors, it brings warmth, character, and an understated sophistication to any space.
