About the Item
Midcentury Swedish light gray, blue and pink handwoven wool rug by 'ABJ'
Size: 5'3" × 7'0" (160 × 213 cm).
This vintage Scandinavian rug, attributed to ABJ and dating from the mid-20th century, exemplifies the quiet elegance and refined craftsmanship of Nordic textile traditions. The design features a minimalist central field in variegated soft gray, achieved through masterful blending of wool yarns in subtle blue and beige tones, creating a soothing, almost watercolor-like effect. Framing this center is a broad geometric border in dusty rose, punctuated with deep blue and ivory stepped motifs that resemble stylized architectural forms or abstracted floral patterns.
The rug’s composition maintains a balanced symmetry while embracing a handwoven charm evident in the gentle irregularities of its weave. Executed in a flatweave (kilim) technique, the rug boasts both visual depth and functional durability. Its muted pastel palette is particularly suited for contemporary interiors seeking warmth and texture without overwhelming color.
This Scandinavian piece is not only a functional textile but also a work of design history—evocative of the postwar Nordic aesthetic that prized harmony, simplicity, and an intrinsic connection to nature.
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.
