Doris Leslie Blau Vintage Swedish Flat Woven Rug by Marianne Richter AB MMF

About the Item

Vintage Swedish Flat Woven Rug by Marianne Richter AB MMF Size: 5'6" × 8'0" (167 × 243 cm) A masterclass in minimalist texture and tone, this vintage Swedish flat-weave rug by celebrated textile artist Marianne Richter exemplifies the quiet sophistication of mid-century Scandinavian design. Woven in the 1950s, this piece is a subtle yet powerful exploration of form and color, achieved through Richter’s keen eye for geometry and tactile nuance. The rug’s composition is built on an elegant grid of offset rectangles, rendered in a warm, earthy palette of cinnamon, rust, ochre, honey, and muted clay. Each block is filled with striated yarns of varying hues, creating a painterly, almost weathered effect that evokes sun-soaked landscapes or aged wooden surfaces. The interplay of woven textures and soft tonal shifts gives this flat-weave rug a unique sense of depth and rhythm despite its minimalist appearance. Framed at either end by a striped border of alternating brown and ivory blocks, the rug adds a graphic punctuation that grounds the organic feel of the field. The wool weave is dense and refined, offering both durability and comfort, while the design speaks to the era’s emphasis on utility fused with artful modernism. With its unique pattern and refined colors, this vintage rug reflects the impeccable taste of Doris Leslie Blau’s selections.Offering both rare, high-end pieces and more accessible options, Doris Leslie Blau presents rugs in a wide spectrum of prices.
