About the Item

A striking handwoven Röllakan rug by Swedish textile artist Greta Sjöqvist, crafted in the 1950s. This exceptional example of mid-century Scandinavian Modern design features a bold geometric composition in rich tones of blue, ochre, beige, and walnut brown, arranged in a rhythmic and architectural pattern that evokes the visual harmony of Swedish modernism. Woven in pure wool on a linen warp, this flatweave rug showcases the precision and quality of traditional Swedish craftsmanship. The palette is earthy yet vibrant, making it a versatile statement piece for both vintage and contemporary interiors. Sjöqvist’s initials “GS” are woven into the corner, authenticating this collectible piece. Please note: The rug is in overall vintage condition, with visible damage along one edge (as shown in the photos). The wear does not detract from its decorative impact but is reflected in the price. This piece is ideal for collectors, designers, or interiors where authentic patina is embraced.
