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

About the Item

Mid-20th century Swedish beige, brown and blue flat-weave wool rug Size: 5'9" × 7'5" (175 × 226 cm) Designed by Elsa Ekholm, a respected figure in Swedish textile arts, this vintage flat-weave rug is a refined example of Scandinavian modernism at its most understated and elegant. Woven in Sweden during the mid-20th century, the rug reflects Ekholm’s talent for balancing geometry with softness, and structure with serenity. The central composition features a repeated octagonal medallion motif rendered in muted sand tones, encased in light blue-grey outlines and subtly accented with cross-like elements in pale rose and ivory. These motifs are arranged symmetrically and framed by a gently stepped, sawtooth border in earthy taupe tones. A wide outer band filled with abstract fan and chevron forms completes the layout, using a quiet palette of beige, cream, blush, and washed-out blue. Handwoven in the traditional rölakan technique, the rug exemplifies Swedish craftsmanship, offering durability and visual clarity through flat weaving and natural wool fibers. The soft, sun-faded color scheme and clean lines reflect Ekholm’s ability to distill Scandinavian aesthetics into textiles that are both contemporary and timeless. Ideal for modern, Nordic, or minimalist interiors, this rug brings a sense of calm sophistication and historical integrity — a true tribute to Elsa Ekholm’s design legacy. 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.
