Doris Leslie Blau Midcentury Swedish Runner by Gitt Granssjo-Carlsson 'GG'

About the Item

Mid-20th Century Swedish flat woven runner signed by Gitt Granssjo-Carlsson (GG) Size: 2'8" × 8'7" (81 × 261 cm). Color: beige, blue, grey, pink. This vintage Swedish runner is a masterful example of mid-century Scandinavian weaving, signed by renowned Swedish textile artist Gitt Grönsjö-Carlsson with her monogram “GG” subtly woven into the design. Measuring approximately 9 feet by 3 feet, this flat woven rug is tailored for hallways, entryways, or other narrow interior settings. Executed in the classic rollakan flat-weave technique, the runner displays a rhythmic alignment of stylized medallions in soft ivory, pale pink, muted grey, and charcoal black — all framed within a denim-blue ground that adds depth and sophistication. The pattern is flanked by bands of geometric motifs, including checker and sawtooth elements, reflecting the Nordic affinity for symmetry, structure, and natural hues. Woven from high-quality wool, this piece offers both resilience and warmth underfoot. The pastel palette and finely balanced design make it a versatile addition to minimalist, contemporary, or even traditional interiors. As with many works by Grönsjö-Carlsson, the rug exemplifies the union of functionality and fine art so essential to the Swedish design ethos. A rare and elegant signed piece, this runner not only functions as a beautiful textile but also as a collectible example of Scandinavian modernist craft. Showcasing the finest materials and patterns, this design is part of the expansive Doris Leslie Blau collection, renowned for its rare and unique finds across a wide range of prices.
