About the Item

Vintage Swedish Flat Woven Rug Size: 4'5" × 6'3" (134 × 190 cm) This charming vintage Swedish flat-woven rug, dating to the mid-20th century, embodies the refined functionality and natural aesthetics of Scandinavian design. The piece is crafted using the traditional rölakan weaving technique, producing a durable and reversible textile that merges beauty with practicality. The composition features a harmonious interplay of warm, earthy tones—amber, walnut brown, beige, and ivory—arranged in a striking geometric border design. Pixel-like medallions resembling stylized floral motifs are symmetrically repeated around the edge, set against a crisp ivory ground. Small dark brown bars punctuate the design rhythmically, adding graphic interest and modernist structure. A solid caramel-brown field anchors the design at the center, creating a calm, unadorned space that enhances the patterned frame. This balanced layout reflects a Bauhaus-influenced Swedish aesthetic—rooted in craft but forward-looking in form. Woven in pure wool, the rug showcases both the texture and durability characteristic of vintage Scandinavian textiles. Its neutral palette and clean geometry make it an ideal addition to minimalist, bohemian, or mid-century interiors alike. This vintage piece not only serves as a warm and understated design element but also represents the enduring legacy of Swedish textile artistry. 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.
