About the Item

Mid-century Swedish Flat Weave Rug by Erik Lundberg Size: 8'5" × 12'0" (256 × 365 cm) A striking example of mid-century Scandinavian textile design, this vintage Swedish flat weave rug by Erik Lundberg offers a masterclass in minimalist sophistication and color nuance. Woven in the 1950s, the composition is defined by a broad, richly hued brick-red central field enclosed by a contrasting mossy green border—a color pairing that evokes a deep connection to nature, a hallmark of Swedish modernist aesthetics. The subtly striated texture of the red ground is created through masterful blending of wool in varying shades of rust, crimson, and burnt orange, lending visual depth and warmth. The surrounding green frame is executed in similarly variegated yarns, softening its graphic structure and ensuring harmony throughout the piece. Handwoven in the Rölakan technique, the rug showcases the precision and restraint characteristic of Lundberg’s textile work. The composition is devoid of overt ornamentation, relying instead on the quiet power of color, proportion, and texture. The artist’s initials “GL” and the signature “L” motif are visible in the weave, authenticating its origin. Ideal for modern, eclectic, or Scandinavian-inspired interiors, this piece not only grounds a room—it elevates it. 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.
