Vintage Swedish Flat weave Rug by Marta Maas-Fjetterstrom “CARNATION” BB6655 7'0" × 9'0" $30,000

Created by a doyenne of Scandinavian craft Marta Maas-Fjetterstrom, this vintage Swedish rug can be named iconic. Its allover whimsical design features a geometricized representation of carnations rendered in a tone-on-tone green palette ranging from forest to mint complemented by off-white, finished with a fringe at the shorter edges that adds lightness and even more charm to the composition. As befits a work of a master, the Swedish flat-weave was meticulously hand-made of the finest wool thanks to which it has remained intact for half a century. If properly cared for, it has a chance to withstand years of usage, bringing in the freshness and timeless elegance of Scandinavian craft.
