About the Item
Vintage Swedish Flat-Weave Rug by Kerstin Persson
Size: 4'8" × 8'1" (142 × 246 cm)
Colors: Yellow, Blue, Pink, Brown, Ivory
A delicate interplay of color and geometry defines this charming vintage Swedish flat-weave rug, attributed to Kerstin Persson—a name synonymous with the refined yet functional aesthetic of 20th-century Scandinavian textile design. Woven by hand in the mid-century period, this piece exemplifies the Swedish modernist approach, balancing craftsmanship, clarity of form, and a serene palette.
The rug features a minimalist composition with a wide straw-yellow field that highlights a distinctive border design. Rendered in pastel hues of icy blue, soft peach, buttercream yellow, and pale lilac, the border is composed of repeated square motifs—each surrounded by subtle stepped contours that echo traditional Scandinavian patterns in a modern context. These squares form a frame that gently contains the open central area, creating visual harmony without overwhelming the space.
Executed in the flat-weave technique (rollakan), the rug is reversible and lightweight, yet durable. The even texture and careful weaving suggest a meticulous hand and a clear understanding of both form and function. Persson’s signature appears subtly in the corner, a nod to the artistic pride and individuality behind each handwoven piece.
Ideal for interiors that favor light, airiness, and subtle sophistication, this rug would complement minimalist, mid-century modern, or contemporary Scandinavian-inspired spaces. Its soothing palette and graphic clarity offer both decorative appeal and a timeless sense of calm.
A rare piece from the Doris Leslie Blau Collection, this rug exemplifies superior artistry and tradition. Doris Leslie Blau offers a broad and varied pricing spectrum, accommodating collectors and designers across a range of budgets—from modest vintage finds to rare, museum-worthy masterpieces.
