Large Mid-Century Swedish Design Flatweave Carpet

Large Mid-Century Swedish Design Flatweave Carpet.

4.27 x 3.40 m.

Flatweave carpets – known as röllakan – have been woven in Sweden since the 17th Century or earlier, but experienced a particular revival in the mid-20th Century, incorporating elements of both mid-century modern and folk design. These pieces are widely sought after by collectors and designers today, known for their elegant simplicity and charm.

This finely handwoven contemporary flatweave carpet, inspired by mid-century modern Swedish pieces, represents a wonderful example of its type - perhaps its most attractive feature is the subtle variation in tone, achieved by the interweaving of different tones of denim, cornflower and duck egg blue in each panel, lending a great sense of depth and character to the otherwise restrained, minimalist composition of the central field, framed by a wide, decorative border.

A stylish, understated carpet, which would feel at home in any setting.
