About the Item
Vintage Swedish blue, green, orange, purple, red pile rug by Kerstin Ekengren
Size: 7'7" × 10'7" (231 × 322 cm).
This vibrant and visually arresting vintage Swedish rug by Kerstin Ekengren, created circa 1950, stands as a remarkable example of mid-century textile art. Characterized by its dramatic use of color and geometric abstraction, the piece embraces both functionality and modernist aesthetics in its plush pile weave.
The rug’s composition is anchored by three vertical columns of densely packed square and rectangular motifs in vivid shades of crimson, vermilion, violet, fuchsia, and tangerine, arranged against a near-black ground that intensifies the luminosity of the palette. These central panels are framed by symmetrical borders composed of concentric blocks and triangles in contrasting hues of sapphire, emerald, plum, ochre, and cobalt blue, lending the composition an architectural rhythm reminiscent of stained glass or mosaic design.
Woven from high-quality wool, the rug features a soft, tactile surface that adds warmth and texture, while the dense pile offers durability suited to practical use. The complexity and precision of the colorwork suggest a masterful understanding of both form and chromatic interaction, typical of Ekengren’s acclaimed output.
Marked with the artist's initials "KE" and the number "44," this rug is a collectible piece of Scandinavian design heritage, marrying rich ornamentation with functional craftsmanship. Whether displayed on the floor or as a wall tapestry, it offers a dynamic focal point with deep artistic resonance.
With its unique pattern and refined colors, this vintage rug reflects the impeccable taste of Doris Leslie Blau’s selections.Offering both rare, high-end pieces and more accessible options, Doris Leslie Blau presents rugs in a wide spectrum of prices.
