About the Item
Handwoven in wool in Sweden circa 1920-1930, this 2x10 antique Swedish Rya runner rug is a bold new addition to Rug
Kilim’s curation of iconic Scandinavian rugs of this provenance, signed by the legendary Swedish textile artist, Märta Måås-Fjetterström who revolutionized 20th-century Scandinavian design,
On the Design:
This signed antique piece demonstrates Måås-Fjetterström's revolutionary approach to geometric design through its sophisticated three-zone structure that creates visual rhythm across the field. The upper and lower sections employ interlocking diamond formations that cascade in stepped progressions, each element rendered in golden amber, sage green, and dove blue against warm camel grounds. The central zone introduces dynamic contrast through bold chevron patterning where angular elements create energetic movement that breaks the static quality of traditional Swedish textiles.
Our superior flat-weave construction honors traditional Swedish techniques while the geometric design speaks directly to modernist sensibilities, creating the perfect synthesis of heritage craft and contemporary aesthetic innovation that defined Måås-Fjetterström's revolutionary contribution to textile design. For serious collectors of Scandinavian design, this represents the pinnacle of textile collecting—a documented masterwork from the artist who established Swedish textiles as an internationally recognized decorative art form.
Condition:
This antique Marta Maas signed Swedish runner rug further enjoys good condition for its age and origin.
