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

About the Item

Mid-20th century Swedish flat-weave wool runner Size: 2'8" × 15'10" (82 × 483 cm) This vintage Swedish flat-weave wool runner is a striking example of mid-century Scandinavian textile artistry. Woven circa 1950, the piece showcases a bold geometric pattern arranged in a meticulously balanced grid. The design is characterized by alternating eight-pointed stars and stepped diamond medallions, rendered in a rich, harmonious palette of navy blue, forest green, ochre, soft red, ivory, and dusty rose. These motifs repeat rhythmically along the length of the rug, forming a vibrant tapestry of folk-inspired symmetry. Crafted using the röllakan technique—a traditional Scandinavian flat-weaving method—this runner offers both durability and decorative flair. The precise interlocking of weft threads creates a smooth, tapestry-like surface, making it ideal for hallways or long, narrow spaces. Its handwoven texture and vegetal-dyed wool lend a timeless quality, while the saturated yet earthy tones reflect the Swedish ethos of balancing utility with aesthetic beauty. Framed with a complementary border that echoes the central motifs in scaled-down form, this runner is a testament to the high standards of Swedish design. It’s a functional piece of art—equally suited to modern, rustic, or eclectic interiors. 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.
