About the Item
Mid Century Swedish flat woven rug by Bitte Ahlgren (BA)
Size: 6'3" × 10'2" (190 × 309 cm)
This delightful vintage flat-weave rug, signed “BA” in the corner, is a striking example of mid-century Swedish textile artistry by Bitte Ahlgren. Woven in the iconic Scandinavian tradition, the design displays a harmonious blend of structure and softness through both form and palette.
Framing a serene, oatmeal-hued central field, the rug is bordered with a bold and rhythmic sequence of square and rectangular panels. These panels alternate between solid fields and intricate geometric floral motifs rendered in soft reds, blues, greens, and purples—creating a colorful, yet controlled composition. The geometry of the floral figures, reminiscent of stylized rosettes or snowflakes, contrasts gently against the more subdued ground, providing a sense of visual interest without overwhelming the senses.
The craftsmanship is exceptionally crisp, with clear delineation between colors and fine detailing evident in the tight weave. The outer edge is finished with a simple, striped binding and a natural fringe on one side, enhancing the rustic yet refined character of the piece.
Bitte Ahlgren’s signature, discreetly woven in the lower corner, affirms the authenticity of the design and marks it as a work of artistic merit within the canon of Swedish modernist weaving.
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.
