Vintage Swedish Geometric Light Beige Flatweave Wool Rug By Bitte Ahlgren Signed “BA” BB7829 6'3" × 10'2" $9,600

Vintage Swedish flatweave wool rug, signed “BA” by Bitte Ahlgren, woven in the Scandinavian tradition during the vintage period. Its restrained structure and lively border capture the balance so often associated with Swedish textile design: calm, functional, and quietly decorative.

A wide light beige field creates a generous sense of negative space, framed by a slender dark outline and a rhythmic perimeter of geometric blocks and stylized star-floral motifs. Dusty blue, brick red, olive green, and soft purple accents alternate with measured regularity, giving the composition a tailored, modernist character without losing warmth. The open center allows the border to read with clarity and movement.

Executed as a flatweave in wool, the rug has the crisp, tapestry-like surface and clean color separation prized in Scandinavian weaving. Its geometry works especially well in contemporary and transitional rooms, where a vintage Swedish rug can introduce pattern, history, and subtle color while remaining visually light.

Curated by Doris Leslie Blau, this vintage rug represents the enduring beauty and craftsmanship that have defined the gallery since its establishment in 1965.
