Doris Leslie Blau Mid-20th Century Swedish Flat-Weave Rug

About the Item

Mid-20th Century Swedish yellow, beige and brown flat-weave rug Size: 4'10" × 6'7" (147 × 200 cm). This vintage Swedish flat-weave rug by the artist identified as HJA reflects the distinct aesthetic of mid-20th century Scandinavian textile design. Woven in a harmonious palette of golden yellows, olive greens, and earthy browns, the piece balances rustic warmth with the minimal elegance typical of Swedish craftsmanship. The rug’s composition centers around a large open field in a soft beige tone, gently faded with time, which creates a sense of visual calm and lightness. Framing this serene central panel is a richly detailed border composed of stylized medallions and floral motifs arranged in a repeating geometric pattern. These forms—evocative of sunbursts or blossoms—are rendered in warm ochres, mustard yellows, taupes, and ivory, lending the design both symmetry and rhythmic movement. The stepped edges of the motifs—characteristic of traditional Swedish Röllakan weaving—enhance the rug’s handcrafted texture. Fine detailing in white and rust-orange accentuate the decorative motifs and bring a subtle pop of contrast. The visible weft structure and natural variations in wool texture offer a tactile depth that is both functional and artful. Fringed ends complete the textile, affirming its authenticity as a handwoven item. Though it shows minor wear and tonal gradation typical of genuine vintage pieces, the rug retains its charm and remains a compelling example of Scandinavian modernism grounded in folk art traditions. Perfect as a statement piece or a complementary accent in contemporary, rustic, or minimalist interiors, this flat-weave rug embodies timeless Swedish design—elegant in its simplicity and rich in its craft. This exquisite rug is part of the diversified Doris Leslie Blau selections, 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.
