About the Item

Vintage Swedish Pile Rug Size: 8'1" × 11'3" (246 × 342 cm) This vintage Swedish rug is a striking example of Scandinavian textile art that harmonizes folkloric symbolism with bold mid-century modern aesthetics. Radiating with character and cultural richness, this piece embodies the timeless appeal of handwoven Swedish craftsmanship. At the heart of the composition lies a symmetric abstract medallion, rendered in deep chocolate brown and muted lilac tones, set against a luminous cobalt blue field. The central design is surrounded by a scattering of small, stylized motifs—evoking natural or cosmic forms—that create a sense of quiet rhythm across the field. The rug is framed by a multi-tiered border, each layer adding visual depth and complexity. This rug makes a bold statement through its rich and earthy color scheme, including: deep cobalt and cerulean blues, earthy brown and ochre, lavender, taupe, and muted olive, accents of ivory and black. These colors, while vivid, are thoughtfully muted to maintain the balance typical of Swedish design—simultaneously rustic and modern. Woven by hand from high-quality wool, the rug is a flat-weave (Rölakan) construction, known for its durability and ease of use in both functional and decorative applications. The texture is soft underfoot yet tightly woven, making it suitable for high-traffic areas as well as statement placements. Offered by Doris Leslie Blau, an iconic brand in the world of decorative rugs, this piece is part of a curated collection of vintage and antique carpets known for their quality, rarity, and design integrity. Doris Leslie Blau offers a wide range of pricing tailored to collectors, designers, and discerning homeowners—from accessible vintage gems to exclusive investment-level pieces.
