About the Item
1950's Swedish Pile Rug
Size: 5'5" × 8'3" (165 × 251 cm)
Color: Beige, Blue, Orange
Origin: Sweden
This captivating vintage Swedish pile rug from the mid-20th century offers a playful yet refined approach to geometric design. The composition centers on a symmetrical arrangement of diamond-shaped medallions, each filled with a tight checkerboard of plush, hand-knotted squares. Muted pastels—such as dusty blue, soft peach, mint green, lavender, and blush pink—dance across a creamy ivory background, creating a visually soft yet texturally rich aesthetic.
The checkered motifs vary slightly in hue and density, which adds a dynamic, almost optical effect that shifts with perspective. Crafted in a deep-pile weaving technique typical of Swedish rya or shag rugs, the surface is exceptionally tactile, evoking warmth and comfort. The back of the rug reveals a crisp flat weave and subtle tracing of the front’s design, attesting to its meticulous handcraftsmanship.
Ideal for a modern or Scandinavian interior, this rug blends traditional Nordic textile heritage with a graphic, mid-century sensibility. It functions equally well as a floor covering or an accent wall piece for those who appreciate artisanal quality and playful geometry.
Rich in heritage and artistry, this handmade rug exemplifies the high standards of Doris Leslie Blau’s curated pieces. With a wide range of prices, Doris Leslie Blau makes exceptional rugs accessible to collectors and designers alike.
