Vintage Scandinavian Geometric Mint Flatweave Wool Rug By Marianne Richter AB MMF BB8610 6'2" × 8'10" $28,000

This exquisite vintage Swedish flat-woven rug, designed by Marianne Richter and produced by AB Märta Måås-Fjetterström, embodies the refined aesthetic and impeccable craftsmanship that defined the golden era of Swedish mid-century textile design. Known for her bold yet sophisticated compositions, Richter created designs that resonate with both visual rhythm and a serene, modern sensibility.

This piece, woven in a harmonious palette of lush greens and subtle teals, evokes a tranquil, almost forest-like atmosphere. The design is composed of a patchwork of asymmetrically arranged rectangles and vertical strips, each subtly differentiated by unique weaves and tonal variations. The diverse textures and shades are carefully balanced, allowing the eye to move fluidly across the rug while maintaining a sense of structure and calm.

What sets this rug apart is the masterful interplay between form and color. The muted greens range from mint to emerald and sage, each block carrying its own character through striations, checks, or fine linear patterns. These variations give the flat-weave surface a dimensional quality, despite its tightly woven, low-profile structure.

Handwoven in wool, the rug reflects the enduring quality and artisanal integrity characteristic of Märta Måås-Fjetterström’s renowned atelier in Båstad. The piece is signed “MR” and “AB MMF”, indicating its origin and authenticity.

This rug would make a striking statement in a modern interior, offering both a grounding element and a touch of Scandinavian artistry. Its subtle color dynamics and abstract composition are equally suited to minimalist spaces and eclectic collections.

Rich in heritage and artistry, this handmade rug exemplifies the high standards of Doris Leslie Blau’s curated pieces. With a wide range of prices, Doris Leslie Blau makes exceptional rugs accessible to collectors and designers alike.
