Vintage Swedish Flat Weave Rug by Marta Maas-Fjetterstrom BB6418 5'7" × 8'7" $22,000

This awe-inspiring vintage piece is a genuine work of the Grand Dame of Scandinavian design – Marta Maas-Fjetterstrom. In the middle of the 20th century her creations have conquered the hearts of designers and art critics alike and since then they remain among one of the most sought-after carpets in the world. The mesmerizing flat-weave before your eyes is a fine example of Mass-Fjetterstrom’s skill. Its entire design is kept in the spirit of Scandinavian philosophy which assumes that utilitarian objects should be practical, functional, qualitative and beautiful at the same time. The main field and longer sides of the rug are covered in an allover design of cubic diamonds, divided in half by color and containing four tiny squares within each. The shorter opposite borders carry a diagonal geometric pattern embellished with even more cubes. What really draws attention in case of this lovely carpet is the masterfully composed color palette with a wide array of pastel hues, including wild rose pink, dusty blue, toned yellow and chocolate brown against beige background. This richness of motifs and shades was masterfully hand-woven in accordance with old and refined weaving techniques by a skilled artisan which have contributed to its ever-lasting quality. This classy Swedish rug by Marta Maas-Fjetterstrom will be a perfect addition to a wide variety of interior décors where it will have a chance to bring in some of its charm and nature-inspired, minimalistic beauty.
