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

About the Item

Mid-20th Century Swedish Flat Weave Rug. Size: 5'7" × 8'0" (170 × 243 cm). This charming mid-century Swedish flat-weave rug exemplifies the serene elegance and geometric sophistication characteristic of Scandinavian design. Woven by hand in the 1950s, it features a balanced composition centered around a soft taupe field accented by finely spaced vertical bands in muted beige and warm brown. The understated body provides a grounding backdrop for the rug’s vibrant border, which is punctuated with stylized geometric floral motifs in shades of sky blue, emerald green, rusty red, and earth-toned browns—each encapsulated within cream squares to highlight their symmetry and form. The playful repetition and color contrast in the border lend a rhythmic vitality to the otherwise minimalistic composition, while the entire design is framed by a narrow chestnut outer band, lending structure and visual containment. The fine craftsmanship and use of natural dyes evoke a sense of warmth, subtlety, and modernist precision that makes this rug not only a decorative textile but also a functional work of art. Showcasing the finest materials and patterns, this design is part of the expansive Doris Leslie Blau Collection, renowned for its rare and unique finds across a wide range of prices.
