Vinrage Swedish Tapestry Weave by Märta Mass-Fjetterström “Gront Pa Linne” BB6340 4'4" × 4'5" $18,000

This vintage Swedish flatweave rug, attributed to the celebrated designer Märta Måås-Fjetterström, exemplifies the distinctive geometric precision and earthy palette that define mid-century Scandinavian textile art. Titled Gront Pa linne (Green on Linnen), the carpet was created using a tapestry weave, meant to be hanged on the wall, not cover the floor. Handwoven in wool, the rug features a sophisticated grid of large, symmetrical diamond medallions, each composed of stepped motifs and nested shapes in hues of muted gold, sage, deep teal, and soft beige. Set against a neutral ground, the crisp linearity of the design is punctuated by horizontal striped panels and minimalist accents. A wide decorative border incorporates repeating diamond and bar motifs, anchoring the composition and adding visual weight. The fringed edge offers a touch of traditional craftsmanship, enhancing the artisanal quality of the textile. A testament to the enduring appeal of Nordic design, this piece blends folk-art roots with a modernist aesthetic, making it a timeless choice for both minimalist and eclectic interiors.
