About the Item
Vintage Swedish Pile Rug in Earthy Tapestry Style
Size: 9'9" × 12'8" (297 × 386 cm)
Style: Abstract, Botanic, Geometric, Scandinavian
This captivating vintage Swedish rug from the mid-20th century stands as a striking example of Scandinavian textile artistry. Woven circa 1940, the piece is imbued with a painterly, almost abstract aesthetic that bridges traditional Swedish folk motifs with the expressive modernism emerging at the time.
The rug features a dense and plush high-pile wool construction, giving it a tactile warmth and luxurious underfoot feel. Its composition is built on a softly fragmented geometry, forming mirrored columns of abstracted tree-of-life motifs, stylized foliage, and symbolic flora. Rendered in a subdued yet earthy palette—moss green, terracotta, ochre, ash brown, and faded blush—the rug radiates a warm, organic charm reminiscent of a forest landscape viewed through a softened lens.
Framed by a jagged, crenellated border in red and olive tones, the field’s asymmetrical layout avoids repetition, allowing for a unique, rhythmic flow that feels at once structured and spontaneous. The fine hand-knotting reveals the rug’s artisan roots, while the natural vegetable-dyed hues emphasize its authenticity and enduring craftsmanship.
This piece would make a stunning focal point in a modern, rustic, or Scandinavian-inspired interior, offering not only visual beauty but also a narrative richness born from traditional Swedish weaving culture.
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.
