About the Item
Vintage Swedish Flat Woven Rug by Bitte Ahlgren
Size: 5'4" × 7'10" (162 × 238 cm)
Color: Beige, Blue, Gold, Gray, Pink
This charming vintage flat-weave rug by Swedish textile artist Bitte Ahlgren epitomizes the elegance and restraint of Scandinavian design. Woven in a soothing palette dominated by denim blue, ivory, ochre, and muted coral, the composition radiates balance and harmony.
The central field is a rich expanse of variegated indigo blue, subtly textured to create a sense of depth and quiet movement. This meditative field is framed by a decorative border featuring a rhythmic alternation of three geometric motifs: ochre squares with centered gray dots, cross-like blue checkered patterns, and sawtooth-edged coral diamonds. Each motif reflects the simplicity and utility of traditional Swedish folk art, abstracted into a distinctly modernist idiom.
The flat-weave construction—crafted in pure wool—ensures durability and reversibility, while the soft color transitions and refined geometry lend it a timeless appeal. The rug is signed in the corner with Ahlgren’s woven monogram, a mark of authenticity and craftsmanship.
Ideal for interiors that celebrate minimalism with soul, this mid-century Swedish rug merges utility with subtle artistry. Whether in a modernist loft or a serene reading nook, it offers both warmth and a sense of design heritage.
Rich in heritage and artistry, this handmade rug exemplifies the high standards of Doris Leslie Blau’s curated pieces. With a wide range of prices, Doris Leslie Blau makes exceptional rugs accessible to collectors and designers alike.
