Doris Leslie Blau Vintage Swedish Flat-Weave Rug in Earth Tones

About the Item

Vintage Swedish Flat-Weave Rug in Earth Tones Size: 6'6" × 9'7" (198 × 292 cm) A remarkable example of Scandinavian textile artistry, this vintage Swedish rug, attributed to renowned designer Ingrid Dessau, exudes a refined minimalism and modernist sensibility. Woven in the mid-20th century, the piece displays a masterful balance of geometry, color, and composition. Rendered in a warm palette of ochre, sand, sienna, and muted taupe, the rug’s design centers around a large field of horizontal bands subtly shifting in tone. This textural ground is punctuated by two abstract, architectural motifs at opposite ends—stylized in soft cubist forms—that add dynamic asymmetry without overpowering the calm of the overall composition. The rug is handwoven using a traditional flat-weave (rolakan) technique, lending it a supple, durable character ideal for both modern and transitional interiors. Its elegant restraint and natural hues make it a timeless addition to a serene, design-forward space. This exquisite rug is part of the diversified Doris Leslie Blau selections, renowned for its curated selection of antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs. Doris Leslie Blau offers a vast selection of antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs in a wide range of styles, materials, and price points, making fine textile art accessible to both collectors and designers alike.
