Large Contemporary Swedish Design Flatweave Carpet
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, with fresh vegetable dyed colours, including soft olive and sage green sqaure forms repeated across the field – the subtle variation in tone adds a great sense of depth to its otherwise stripped-back, simplified drawing.
The design is framed by an ivory border, with ochre colour accents – a warm, harmonious palette.
A stylish carpet, in an unusually large format, to add character to any setting.
