About the Item

1950's Swedish Pile Rug Doris Leslie Blau Size: 7'0" × 10'4" (213 × 314 cm) Age: Vintage Color: Blue, Brown, Pink, Red, Yellow Origin: Scandinavia This vintage Swedish pile rug is a celebration of Nordic craftsmanship and bold, geometric elegance. Woven circa 1950, the piece showcases a commanding rose-pink field framed by a striking border of rich, jewel-toned motifs. The outer edge features a rhythmic pattern of stylized geometric medallions in deep indigo, sapphire blue, mustard, and ivory—each delicately outlined in black to enhance contrast and definition. At its heart, the solid pink ground offers a serene canvas, its subtly variegated texture adding depth and warmth. The symmetrical layout of the border lends structure to the composition, echoing traditional Scandinavian motifs while embracing a distinctly modern aesthetic. The meticulous hand-knotted wool construction gives this rug a plush yet resilient texture, with natural fibers providing both durability and rich tonal variation. Ideal for interiors that celebrate color, pattern, and heritage, this Swedish mid-century masterpiece offers a rare combination of bold presence and refined simplicity. Whether anchoring a minimalist room or complementing a maximalist setting, this rug is a timeless design statement. This rug is part of the esteemed Doris Leslie Blau collection, renowned for its curated selection of antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs. Doris Leslie Blau offers a vast selection of antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs in a wide range of styles, materials, and price points, making fine textile art accessible to both collectors and designers alike.
