Circular Bergoss Symphonie rug in wool on wool, 200 x 200 cm, Netherlands, mid-20th century, in good condition with signs of aging and wear, professionally cleaned.
Description from the seller
Splendid and iconic vintage circular rug produced in the 1970s by the famous Dutch manufacturer Bergoss.
This piece fully embodies the Space Age and Pop Art aesthetics that reshaped interior design in that decade. The rug features a refined abstract geometric motif with a central layout.
The fluid shades cascade harmoniously from light beige and ivory, through caramel and tobacco, to a deep brown on the outer perimeter.
The high-pile construction in 100% pure virgin wool guarantees excellent softness, density, and thickness, typical of Dutch textile production of the era.
Production labels still present.
Signs of age and wear clearly visible in the photos.
Just picked up from the professional laundry.
Photos as an integral part of the lot description.
Insured and traceable shipping.
BIO:
Bergoss (1919 - 1977) was a rug factory in the Dutch city of Oss. The company originated from a cellulose cotton and kapok (a so‑called cotton mill) founded by Daniël van den Bergh in 1865. In 1888 Jacob van den Bergh moved the cellulose cotton factory to the place where Berghkwartier is now located. The factory expanded; looms and steam-powered machines were added. The company thus developed into a carpet-weaving mill, which was later enlarged with a spinning mill, a dye works, and a washing house. Ultimately, the site covered 5 hectares. The company was subsequently renamed Bergoss-Stoddard NV. In 1960 it was named Royal Bergoss and the enterprise was acquired as Koninklijke Tapijtfabrieken Bergoss NV. In 1968 it expanded vigorously but from 1974 Bergoss suffered losses. This was not only due to market conditions but also to poor management. In 1977 Bergoss’s management was replaced. The company was acquired by competitor Osse Desseaux.
