About the Item

Vintage Swedish Flat Woven Fragment Rug Size: 5'10" × 10'9" (177 × 327 cm) This captivating vintage Swedish flat-woven rug is a striking example of mid-20th-century Scandinavian textile design. Featuring a highly geometric composition, the rug presents a mesmerizing mosaic of stepped lozenge and cross motifs in a symmetrical grid. The palette, composed of warm earth tones—burnt sienna, ochre, walnut brown, and sandy beige—is accentuated by pale blues and off-whites, giving the rug both warmth and dynamic visual contrast. The stepped shapes, reminiscent of pixelated mosaics, form a rhythmic and cohesive pattern across the surface, lending the piece a modern yet folkloric aesthetic. The weaver’s subtle gradation of color within each shape adds depth and texture, creating a sense of movement and dimension. The craftsmanship is evident in the crisp edges of the motifs and the even, tight weave typical of Swedish kilim techniques. While classified as a fragment, the rug feels complete in its visual integrity, suitable for use as a statement floor covering or a large-scale wall textile. Its versatile color scheme and sophisticated design make it a timeless addition to interiors seeking a touch of Scandinavian modernism and artisanal authenticity. 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.
