Swedish Flat Woven Rug by Marta Maas Fjetterstrom BB8365 6'10" × 9'5" $20,000

$20,000

A spectacular vintage example of Marta Måås-Fjetterström’s ‘Bruna Heden’ (Brown Heath) design with with woven initials ‘ABMMF’ at a lower corner. The textile is a rölakan flatweave and it is in excellent original condition, consistent with age. The composition of the carpet is made up, exclusively, of geometric shapes. The majority of the pattern is made up of diamonds with stepped edges. A variation of Greek key interjects along the longest sides and tetrominos complete the border along the shortest edges of the rug. Symmetry governs the shapes in the design, however the colours used to ‘fill’ the shapes are asymmetric in places. This creates a subtle complexity which gives the piece its’ longevity regards appreciation.
