Vintage Scandinavian Geometric Warm Tan Flatweave Wool Rug By Birgitta SöDerkvist Signed Bs BB8209 5'3" × 7'8" $14,000

This vintage Scandinavian flatweave wool rug by Birgitta Söderkvist, signed BS, reflects the pared-back clarity of mid-century Swedish textile design. Woven in a flatweave construction, it balances utility with a distinctly artistic sense of order.

The composition is built around a denim-blue field, softly variegated so the surface reads with the depth and movement of woven cloth. That quiet center is framed by a warm ivory border animated with geometric repeats: ochre square forms, brick-red sawtooth motifs, and blue cross shapes placed in a measured rhythm. The result is graphic, but never harsh, with each element separated by generous negative space.

Its Scandinavian character lies in that restraint—folk-inspired ornament distilled through a modern eye. The palette of warm tan, blue, and muted red feels easy to place in contemporary, Nordic, or eclectic interiors, where the rug can provide structure, color, and a subtle handmade presence without visual weight.
