Doris Leslie Blau Vintage Swedish Rug
About the Item
Vintage Swedish rug
Size: 8'9" × 14'3" (266 × 434 cm)
This captivating vintage Swedish flat-weave rug is a fine example of mid-century Scandinavian textile artistry. Woven with a balanced sense of geometry and subtle color harmonies, the rug embodies the minimal yet expressive aesthetic that defines Northern European design of the era.
The central field is organized into a soft lattice of diamond-shaped medallions, each delicately shaded in pastel hues of rose, lavender, taupe, and sand. Inside many of these diamonds are stylized, cross-shaped floral motifs in complementary colors—sage green, ochre, terracotta, and pink—adding delicate bursts of ornamentation.
The serrated inner border, rendered in muted rose and peach tones, gracefully frames the composition with a rhythmic, mountain-like edge. This is followed by a striking outer border in rich chocolate brown and golden ochre, featuring a ladder-like motif that adds grounding contrast and visual structure.
Handwoven in wool, the rug displays a fine, dense weave with exceptional craftsmanship. Its use of soft, desaturated colors—alongside careful attention to balance and symmetry—makes it both versatile and quietly elegant. Whether placed in a modern interior or a more eclectic setting, this piece evokes the serene sophistication and enduring charm of Scandinavian design.
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.
