Swedish Flat Woven Rug by Birgitta Soderkvist (BS)

Offered by: Doris Leslie Blau Rugs

Description
This vintage Swedish flat-weave wool rug by Brigitta Solderkvist with woven initials (BS) at a corner constitutes the essence of Scandinavian craftsmanship. Both its execution and design exhibit timeless qualities. The open field features softly gradated striations in blue shades running selvage to selvage blending seamlessly from one to the next. A wide beige geometric border composed of traditional Northern motifs of crosses, rectangles and squares takes the central stage. The rug is rendered in blue, salmon pink, orche, beige and ivory.

Now owned by Nader Bolour, to whom Doris turned over the business, the gallery has not only continued the tradition of carrying the best of antique and vintage pieces, but has also forged ahead to create unique and innovative contemporary and custom rugs as well.
