Doris Leslie Blau Mid-20th Century Swedish Pile Rug

About the Item

Mid-20th Century Swedish Pile Rug Size: 9'10" × 12'9" (299 × 388 cm) This vintage Swedish pile rug from the mid-20th century exemplifies the subtle sophistication and artisanal craftsmanship of Scandinavian textile design. The rug's primary field showcases a densely knotted texture in warm, muted beige tones, speckled throughout to create a sense of natural patina and depth. Around the perimeter, a band of abstract geometric forms and motifs in coral red, indigo blue, and umber animates the edges with a quiet rhythm. These designs appear almost like coded language or ancient runes, lending the piece a mysterious, storybook quality. Corner motifs and side borders introduce triangular and diamond patterns reminiscent of traditional Swedish folk art, yet they are interpreted here with a distinctively modern sensibility. The overall composition balances minimalism with ornament, offering a sophisticated yet inviting atmosphere suitable for both classic and contemporary interiors. With its rare scale and enduring artistry, this Swedish pile rug offers a timeless statement of design integrity and cultural heritage. 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.
