Doris Leslie Blau Mid-20th Century Swedish Navy, Red Handmade Pile Rug

About the Item

Mid-20th century Swedish Navy blue, Ivory, Red Handmade Pile Rug Size: 3'3" × 5'3" (99 × 160 cm) A dazzling expression of Swedish mid-century modernism, this vintage pile rug fuses abstraction and folklore in a design that feels both mystical and mathematical. Woven in richly saturated tones of cobalt, sapphire, and deep teal, the rug is animated by a radiant ivory and coral linear motif that splits and branches like a stylized tree of life or a flowing current of energy. Against this vibrant field, delicate accents in canary yellow, bright white, and bold crimson pop like stars or blooming tulips, evoking a sense of movement and celestial rhythm. The design is at once cosmic and structural, inviting comparisons to Nordic myth, digital circuitry, or ancient weaving codes. Its luxurious high-pile wool construction offers tactile warmth and sculptural texture, making it ideal as a statement piece in compact spaces or displayed vertically as textile art. Deeply rooted in Sweden’s postwar artistic resurgence, this rug captures the intellectual and imaginative spirit of Scandinavian design at its peak. Whether styled in a minimalist interior or paired with other mid-century furnishings, this rare piece is a visually electric and emotionally resonant example of textile modernism. 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.
