About the Item

Mid-20th century Swedish Bold Red, Gray, White, Yellow Hand Knotted Wool Rug Size: 4'8" × 6'0" (142 × 182 cm) A vintage Swedish pile rug of mid-century origin, this striking piece embodies the bold simplicity and rhythmic precision characteristic of Scandinavian modernist design. Rendered in a saturated palette of crimson red, soft gray, warm ochre, and ivory, the rug’s composition is defined by a geometric grid of starburst-like motifs—each formed by intersecting diagonal and vertical lines that create a sense of dynamism and symmetry. The structured layout is framed by stepped triangular borders in alternating tones, evoking traditional Nordic patterns with a distinctly graphic sensibility. The high-pile wool construction lends the piece both visual depth and tactile richness, while the juxtaposition of vibrant and muted hues ensures a compelling yet harmonious aesthetic. With its clean lines, robust texture, and enduring modern appeal, this Swedish rug is a compelling statement of both heritage and design clarity. 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.
