Örtagården 202 x 302 cm
Vintage knotted rya rug designed by Märta Måås-Fjettersström in 1934. Handwoven in 1988 at Märta Måås-Fjetterström, Båstad, Sweden by Birgit Svensson and Birgit Nilsson. Marked AB MMF.
The rug is recorded in the Märta Måås-Fjetterström archive under inventory number 5278 and comes with a certificate of authenticity.
Örtagården (The Herb Garden) exemplifies Märta Måås-Fjetterström’s mastery in distilling her everyday surroundings into works of art. In this design, large, sculptural leaves are combined with delicate flowers and seeds, arranged in a geometric composition over a rich, earthy background. The present Örtagården is in very good condition and has been carefully cleaned at the studio.
This rug is currently on display in our Stockholm showroom.
MATERIALS AND CARE
The rug is hand-knotted in wool on a linen warp. Wool is naturally stain-resistant and should not be washed too frequently, as this can strip the natural oils that protect the fibers.
To ensure even wear, rotate the rug periodically. Regular vacuuming is beneficial, but avoid vacuuming the braided edges and refrain from using a vacuum with rotating brushes.
MADE-TO-ORDER
This is a vintage rug ready for immediate delivery; however, it can also be woven as made-to-order in different sizes by the skilled artisans at the studio in Båstad, Sweden. Please contact us for further information and assistance.
