Doris Leslie Blau Vintage Swedish Flat Woven Rug by Rakel Carlander

About the Item

Vintage Swedish Flat Woven Rug by Rakel Carlander Size: 5'6" × 7'8" (167 × 233 cm) A charming example of mid-century Scandinavian textile artistry, this vintage flat-weave rug by renowned Swedish designer Rakel Carlander epitomizes the romantic elegance and fine craftsmanship characteristic of 1950s Swedish weaving. The rug presents a refined floral composition anchored by a central oval medallion teeming with stylized roses and foliage in soft, impressionistic tones. Rendered in a refreshing palette of leafy green, creamy ivory, blush pink, cornflower blue, and gentle gold, the piece conjures a pastoral serenity. The symmetrical layout of blooming florals radiates from the medallion, framed by scrolling corner ornaments and delicate botanical sprigs, which create a sense of balance and lyrical motion across the field. Woven in the traditional Swedish rölakan technique, the rug’s tight flat weave ensures both durability and a smooth, tapestry-like surface, making it equally suited for floors or walls. The natural wool fiber enhances the pastel tones with subtle luster and warmth, while the hand-knotted fringes at either end add a final artisanal flourish. This piece is not merely a decorative accent—it is a testament to Carlander's talent for harmonizing form, function, and aesthetic restraint. A delightful addition to any space seeking Scandinavian charm with a hint of vintage romance. Rich in heritage and artistry, this handmade rug exemplifies the high standards of Doris Leslie Blau’s curated pieces. With a wide range of prices, Doris Leslie Blau makes exceptional rugs accessible to collectors and designers alike.
