About the Item
Vintage Swedish Pile Rug
Size: 7'6" × 9'7" (228 × 292 cm)
This rare vintage Swedish pile rug, hand-knotted circa 1948, is a striking example of Scandinavian modernism at its most expressive. Measuring approximately 7'6" × 9'7" (228 × 292 cm), the rug features a lush field of stylized floral vines and bold, oversized oval medallions—some adorned with intricately rendered peacocks—that bring both rhythm and elegance to the composition. The palette is a refined mix of pink, purple, sage, teal, and layered greens, grounded by touches of black that lend depth and contrast. The solid border framing the design provides balance and structure, enhancing the graphic impact of the central motifs. What sets this piece apart is its exceptional blend of artistic vision and technical mastery. The pile construction adds a sense of softness and luxury, while the detailed ornamentation speaks to a tradition of narrative design deeply rooted in Swedish folk art, reimagined through a modernist lens. This rug stands as both a decorative statement and a collectible work of textile art—perfect for interiors that appreciate bold design with historical depth.
This rug is part of the esteemed Doris Leslie Blau collection, 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.
