This vintage hand-woven Swedish rug, known as the Snäckorna pattern, draws inspiration from the ocean with strands of seashells repeatedly strewn across a surface of varying blues. Measuring 193.04 cm wide by 274.32 cm long, this piece is signed by the original artist Barbro Nilsson and the Märta Måås-Fjetterström studio, making it a rare and collectible treasure. A Snäckorna design is proudly housed in the permanent collection of Nationalmuseum, Stockholm.
The rug reflects the mid-century Swedish design paradigm, shaped by the legacy of Märta Måås-Fjetterström, who founded her workshop in 1919. Born in 1873, Måås-Fjetterström revolutionized Swedish textile art with her bright pastel geometric patterns and stylized depictions of nature until her passing in 1941. Her influence continues to inspire designers and collectors worldwide.
Hand-knotted in wool, this late 20th-century piece is in good condition, showcasing the timeless beauty and craftsmanship of Swedish rug-making, making it a coveted addition for any decor enthusiast.
