Vintage Swedish Geometric Slate Gray Flatweave Wool Carpet By Agda Osterberg BB8065 6'5" × 10'0" $18,000

This vintage Swedish flatweave wool carpet by Agda Österberg, woven circa 1949, reflects the refined modernist tradition of Scandinavian textile design. Handwoven in Sweden, it pairs disciplined structure with a softly expressive palette, making it a thoughtful example of mid-century geometric weaving.

The composition is organized as a compartmental grid of repeated square cells, each framed by dark, almost charcoal lines and filled with nested abstract forms. Pale yellow, lavender, dusty blue, olive, soft peach, and terracotta tones shift from square to square, giving the rug a measured rhythm without disrupting its calm, architectural order. A restrained border in warm slate gray and peach keeps the design balanced and contained.

Because the pattern is so regular and the colors remain muted rather than loud, the piece feels especially versatile in contemporary, Scandinavian, or mid-century interiors. Its flatweave construction lends a crisp, tailored presence, while the wool surface adds warmth and texture. As a vintage geometric rug, it brings both clarity and character to a room.

Part of the Doris Leslie Blau collection, this vintage piece reflects the gallery's unwavering dedication to quality, authenticity, and design heritage.
