Vintage Flat Weave Swedish Mid Century Modern Marta Maas Fjetterstrom Porslinsmattan Kilim Rug 46865

Swedish Rug, Country Of Origin: Scandinavia, Circa Date: Mid 20th Century – Carefully hand-woven for MMF AB using one of the founder’s distinctive designs, this handsome Scandinavian flat-weave rug has a classical style infused with minimalist tendencies. The graphic repeating pattern relies on a constant stream of modular motifs rendered in alternating color combinations that highlight Fjetterstrom’s skills and status as an artistic innovator and matriarch of contemporary textile design. Bold comb motifs and angular floral couplets create an endless tiled composition that blurs the line between border and field. Formal compositional boundaries are retained and modified beautifully by the alternating colors that fill each concentric frame. Opposing combinations of light and dark indigo blues are juxtaposed against warm golden-yellows and terra-cotta reds that cleverly change places while maintaining a homogeneous visage that fits traditional and classically modern style ideals.
