About the Item

Vintage Swedish Flat Woven Rug Signed With Initials GS Size: 5'9" × 8'0" (175 × 243 cm) Color: Beige, Blue, Brown, Gold, Taupe, Yellow A stunning example of Scandinavian textile artistry, this vintage Swedish flat-weave rug by Sverker Greuholm combines structure, subtle colorwork, and geometric clarity in a highly compelling design. Woven in the mid-20th century, the piece epitomizes the refined yet earthy modernism that characterizes Swedish design of the era. At the heart of the composition lies a symmetric grid of cross-like motifs arranged in rows, surrounded by a rectangular golden-olive frame. These center medallions—rendered in soft shades of powder blue, ivory, and brown—provide a dynamic rhythm while maintaining overall harmony. The outer field and border are framed with stair-stepped diamonds and a muted striated ground in warm brown. The interplay of cool and warm tones—seafoam, taupe, ecru, and maize yellow—creates a rich visual texture while maintaining a sense of tranquility. Signature "GS" initials in the corner confirm Greuholm’s authorship, whose work is recognized for its careful composition and use of traditional Swedish weaving techniques. This kilim-style rug is handwoven in wool and is reversible, showcasing durability as well as elegance. A sophisticated choice for interiors that favor Nordic design, Mid-century modern, or contemporary minimalism, this piece offers quiet visual intrigue and artisan quality. This exquisite rug is part of the diversified Doris Leslie Blau selections, renowned for its curated selection of antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs. Doris Leslie Blau offers a vast selection of antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs in a wide range of styles, materials, and price points, making fine textile art accessible to both collectors and designers alike.
