About the Item

Vintage Swedish Flat Woven Rug by Alice Walleback Size: 4'7" × 6'7" (139 × 200 cm) This vintage Swedish flat-woven rug by Alice Walleback, is a striking example of mid-century Scandinavian textile design, characterized by its bold geometry and tranquil color palette. The rug features a grid of twelve square motifs, each composed of concentric rectangles that transition from a warm yellow-orange core to layers of green and cool blue, creating a mesmerizing optical effect that recalls the Bauhaus and Op Art movements. Set against a soft gray ground and framed by graduated blue borders, the design achieves a balance of dynamic rhythm and serene symmetry. Handwoven in wool using the traditional Rölakan technique, this piece showcases Walleback’s masterful control of form, proportion, and color blending. The restrained yet vivid palette—ranging from moss green and denim blue to soft aqua and sunlit gold—makes this rug a versatile accent for minimalist, modern, or Nordic-inspired interiors, while the artist’s initials subtly woven in the border affirm its authenticity and collectible value. 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.
