About the Item
Vintage Swedish Flat Weave Rug by Birgitta Söderkvist, Signed BS
Size: 5'3" × 7'8" (160 × 233 cm)
A masterclass in Scandinavian simplicity and textile artistry, this vintage Swedish flat weave rug designed by Birgitta Söderkvist (signed BS) exemplifies the quiet sophistication of mid-20th century Swedish design. Handwoven in wool, the piece captures a sense of harmony and balance through its careful use of color, form, and negative space.
At its heart, the rug features a rich denim-like blue field rendered in subtly variegated tones, creating a textured effect that echoes woven fabric or softly rippling water. This expanse of calm is framed by a contrasting light border punctuated with recurring geometric motifs: ochre squares with inner diamonds, rose-colored zigzag forms, and checkered blue crosses—all perfectly spaced and meticulously executed. These border elements lend rhythm and movement to the design without overpowering its serene aesthetic.
Söderkvist’s modernist sensibility is evident in the minimalist vocabulary, but so too is a nod to traditional Swedish folk art, updated with a contemporary eye. The rug’s crisp palette—earthy ochres, dusty rose, cornflower blue, and flaxen neutrals—feels timeless and versatile, suited to both modern and rustic interiors alike.
Signed in the corner with the designer’s initials BS, this piece is not only a decorative object but also a collectible work of woven art. A beautiful example of Swedish flatweave technique, it is ideal for those who value understated elegance and handcrafted heritage.
With its unique pattern and refined colors, this vintage rug reflects the impeccable taste of Doris Leslie Blau’s selections.Offering both rare, high-end pieces and more accessible options, Doris Leslie Blau presents rugs in a wide spectrum of prices.
