About the Item

Vintage Swedish Flat-Weave Rug Signed 'JR' Size: 4'3" × 6'7" (129 × 200 cm). This exceptional vintage Swedish flat-weave rug, signed 'JR', captures the essence of mid-century Scandinavian design with its quiet elegance and bold geometric simplicity. Handwoven in the 1950s, the piece features a tranquil, heathered grey field that forms a calming backdrop for a lively border of abstract, pixelated motifs rendered in subdued hues of olive green, slate blue, mustard yellow, soft cream, and hints of aubergine. These stylized forms evoke modernist interpretations of nature—perhaps trees, leaves, or architectural forms—arranged in rhythmic succession around the perimeter. The meticulous craftsmanship is evident in the rug’s texture and tight weave, while the natural wool offers a soft, durable foundation suitable for a variety of interiors. Its restrained palette and subtle composition speak to the Swedish weaving tradition of balancing form and function with artistry and restraint. The initials 'JR' woven into the corner affirm its designer origin—possibly a noted Swedish textile artist—adding provenance and collectible value. With its graphic presence and serene tonality, this rug makes an ideal statement piece in modern, Nordic, or eclectic settings alike. 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.
