About the Item

Swedish Flat Woven Rug by Alice Lund Size: 7'11" × 10'0" (241 × 304 cm) This 1950s vintage Swedish flat-weave rug designed by Alice Lund is a striking example of Scandinavian modernism—balanced, graphic, and deeply rooted in textile tradition. The rug is structured around a modular, grid-based composition, where repeating rectangular and geometric motifs are laid out in vertical and horizontal columns. Each module contains abstract forms that resemble stylized runes, glyphs, or architectural blocks, giving the piece a strong visual rhythm. The design manages to feel both playful and architectural, with its fragmented symmetry and alternating forms. The overall structure suggests a patchwork of ancient symbols or even a type of woven "code," which lends the rug a rich, almost narrative quality. The palette leans cool and sophisticated, dominated by a range of blues and grays punctuated by crisp white and touches of navy and cobalt blue for contrast. These tonal shifts give the rug depth without overpowering the space, making it a versatile piece suited to minimalist, modern, or Scandinavian-style interiors. Offered by Doris Leslie Blau, a premier source for vintage and antique rugs, this piece is an authentic example of post-war Swedish weaving—valued for its craftsmanship, design clarity, and enduring style. Doris Leslie Blau offers a wide range of pricing tailored to collectors, designers, and discerning homeowners—from accessible vintage gems to exclusive investment-level pieces.
