Doris Leslie Blau Mid-20th Century Swedish Flat Woven Rug by Ulla Pakdal

About the Item

Mid-20th Century Swedish flat woven rug by Ulla Pakdal Size: 5'3" × 7'9" (160 × 236 cm) This captivating vintage flat-weave rug by acclaimed Swedish textile artist Ulla Parkdal is a masterclass in Scandinavian modernism and color theory. Woven in the mid-20th century, the piece exemplifies Parkdal’s distinctive approach—merging geometric abstraction with richly modulated hues to produce a textile that is both serene and striking. The composition centers around a symmetrical array of interlocking rectangles and squares in tonal shades of blue, teal, turquoise, and soft gray, subtly punctuated with ivory notches. These lighter accents give the illusion of floating connectors, lending a visual rhythm to the design. The cool palette is balanced by the rug’s broader frame, which introduces deeper navy and violet tones, gently anchoring the composition. The use of color is nuanced, with subtle striations in the yarn enhancing depth and texture. Handwoven in wool, the rug’s flat-weave construction reflects the traditional Swedish rya and rollakan techniques, while its aesthetic belongs wholly to the modern era. Both decorative and functional, this textile is ideal for collectors and interior designers seeking an authentic piece of Scandinavian artistry—an elegant fusion of function, form, and fine craftsmanship. Signed in the corner with Parkdal’s distinctive monogram, the rug not only stands as a beautiful floor covering but also as a statement of mid-century Swedish design excellence. This rug is part of the esteemed Doris Leslie Blau collection, 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.
