About the Item

Mid-20th century Swedish Green Hand Knotted Wool Rug Size: 8'7" × 11'2" (261 × 340 cm). This striking vintage Swedish flat-weave rug, handwoven in the 1940s, exemplifies the bold geometric aesthetic and exceptional craftsmanship typical of Scandinavian design from the early modern era. Its commanding presence is defined by a richly saturated palette of forest green, brick red, rust, ivory, and black—earthy tones that ground the design while offering a dynamic visual rhythm. At the center lies an open green field, framed by a dramatic Art Deco-style border featuring intricate stepped and linear motifs, including Greek key patterns. The corners and edges are highlighted by squared spirals and offset stripe patterns that recall architectural influences and early 20th-century graphic abstraction. The interplay between sharp lines and rhythmic symmetry lends the piece a modernist elegance that feels timeless. Crafted in Sweden from high-quality wool, the rug features a flat-weave (or “rölakan”) construction—known for its durability and reversible use. This technique allows the geometric forms to appear crisp and vibrant while keeping the textile light and flexible. As both a decorative statement and a piece of design history, this rug perfectly captures the essence of mid-century Scandinavian textile art. With its unique pattern and refined colors, this vintage rug reflects the impeccable taste of Doris Leslie Blau’s selections. Offering both rare, high-end pieces and more accessible options, Doris Leslie Blau presents rugs in a wide spectrum of prices.
