About the Item

Vintage Swedish Flat Woven Rug Size: 8'9" × 14'9" (266 × 449 cm) Color: Beige, Brick, Brown This striking mid-century Swedish flat-weave rug, measuring 15 feet by 9 feet, exemplifies the bold geometry and earthy color palette characteristic of Scandinavian textile design. Woven by hand using traditional flat-weave techniques, the rug presents a harmonious balance of folk-inspired motifs and modernist simplicity. The main field features a rhythmic arrangement of square medallions, each centered with a stylized star and surrounded by abstract geometric forms. These repeating blocks are rendered in rich tones of ivory and brown, set against a vibrant terracotta-red ground. Small cross motifs interspersed between the medallions add subtle visual punctuation and structure. Framing the composition, zigzag lines in shades of chocolate and cream form a dynamic inner border, while the outermost edge is defined by a dramatic stepped chevron pattern. This framing not only enhances the symmetry of the piece but also reinforces its bold graphic appeal. Woven in durable wool and executed in the rollakan (flat-weave) technique, the rug offers a smooth, pliable texture ideal for both floor use and wall display. The warm, earthy tones — rust, cocoa, beige, and soft ivory — evoke the natural Nordic landscape while providing a timeless foundation for a variety of interior styles, from rustic to modern. A fine example of Scandinavian craftsmanship is part of the diversified Doris Leslie Blau selections, this vintage Swedish rug blends function, form, and cultural heritage into a versatile design statement. 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.
