About the Item

Mid-20th Century Vintage Swedish Red Rag Rug Size: 7.8" × 10.2" (233 × 309 cm). This bold vintage Swedish rag rug exemplifies mid-century Scandinavian textile artistry with a powerful geometric composition and vivid colorwork. Handwoven using the rya technique, the rug features a lush, tactile surface that adds warmth and depth to any space. The central motif showcases a series of red arrow-like triangles and elliptical forms set against a richly variegated field of earthy browns, rusts, and golds, evoking a painterly texture. Sharp black and ivory vertical and horizontal bars break up the composition with graphic precision, bordered at either end by soft gray edges and tasseled fringes. The rug’s dramatic palette—anchored by deep reds, burnt orange, black, and creamy white—adds a strong architectural presence while maintaining a sense of movement and dynamism typical of Swedish modernism. This piece is both functional and collectible, ideal for design lovers looking to incorporate authentic vintage character into contemporary interiors. 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.
