About the Item

Vibrant Vintage Swedish Pile Rug in Yellow and Charcoal Size: 4'3" × 6'6" (129 × 198 cm) Bold, playful, and unmistakably mid-century, this vintage Swedish pile rug from the 1950s captures the dynamic spirit of Scandinavian modernism. With its electrifying yellow field punctuated by jagged black zigzag stripes, the rug evokes a sense of movement and rhythm—like lightning bolts across a vivid sky. The high-contrast design is both graphic and tactile, made more compelling by the rich texture of its hand-knotted wool pile. Framed with a charcoal border that grounds the composition, the rug balances vibrancy with structure. The palette—a confident combination of canary yellow and jet black—is timeless yet daring, making this piece an ideal statement for interiors that embrace bold design, from eclectic lofts to modernist homes. Crafted in Sweden with traditional techniques, this rug is not only visually striking but also a testament to quality and craftsmanship. The plush wool surface ensures durability and warmth, while the striking design makes it a collectible work of textile art. 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.
