About the Item
Vintage Swedish Flat Weave Rug by Rakel Carlander
Size: 4'8" × 6'7" (142 × 200 cm)
This exceptional vintage Swedish flat weave rug, handwoven by the acclaimed textile artist Rakel Carlander, represents a refined example of mid-century Scandinavian design. Woven circa the 1950s, the rug demonstrates the elegant simplicity and geometric precision characteristic of Swedish modernist aesthetics.
The composition features a rhythmic pattern of octagonal medallions, each enclosing a central square rendered in subtly variegated stripes. These medallions alternate in shades of golden ochre, warm beige, and soft taupe, set against a background of rich brown tones. Framed by symmetrical clusters of small square motifs, the design echoes traditional Swedish symbolism, evoking harmony, balance, and artisanal structure.
The color palette is grounded in earthy neutrals, from honeyed yellows and sandy creams to muted charcoal, producing a warm and organic ambiance. These hues are deftly layered to give the flatwoven surface a sense of depth despite its low pile. Borders of horizontal striping and braided fringe further frame the work, adding texture and visual closure.
Woven in the Röllakan technique, this rug exemplifies durable craftsmanship using high-quality wool and natural dyes. Carlander's monogram "RC" is subtly woven into one corner, affirming the piece's authenticity and her legacy as one of Sweden’s most respected 20th-century textile artists.
Ideal for modern, rustic, or minimalist interiors, this rug is both a functional floor covering and a work of textile art, celebrating Scandinavian weaving traditions through a contemporary lens.
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.
