Mid-20th Century Swedish Pile Rug by Martha Ghan
Size: 4.9" × 11.2" (144 × 340 cm)
The vintage Swedish pile rug by Märta Gahn, crafted circa 1955, exemplifies the harmonious blend of simplicity, functionality, and natural inspiration characteristic of mid-20th-century Scandinavian design. Measuring approximately 57 inches by 134 inches (144.78 cm by 340.36 cm), this hand-knotted wool rug features a vibrant pink field interwoven with shades of lavender, purple, yellow, white, and beige. The design incorporates geometric and animal motifs, creating a composition that is both whimsical and elegant. The rug bears the woven initials "MG" in one corner, signifying its authenticity as a creation of Märta Gahn. It remains in excellent original condition, consistent with its age. This particular rug, with its vibrant color palette and intricate design, serves as a testament to Gahn's mastery in textile art. Its enduring appeal lies in its ability to complement a variety of interior styles, from traditional to contemporary, while adding a touch of Scandinavian charm.
Märta Gahn (1891–1973) was a prominent Swedish textile artist known for her innovative contributions to Scandinavian modernism. Her work often featured a fusion of traditional motifs with modernist aesthetics, resulting in designs that were both rooted in heritage and forward-looking. Gahn's rugs are celebrated for their artistic merit and craftsmanship, making them sought-after pieces in the realm of vintage textiles.
