About the Item

Vintage Swedish Rug Size: 7'8" × 11'6" (233 × 350 cm) This captivating vintage Swedish flat-weave rug is a charming example of mid-century Scandinavian textile art, distinguished by its balance of structure and softness. Likely woven in the 1950s, the design combines orderly geometric symmetry with a gentle, almost pastel-like palette that embodies Nordic design’s philosophy of warmth, function, and aesthetic harmony. At the center, a delicate field of vertical striations in soft beige, taupe, and sage is gently interrupted by a rhythmic, stepped motif outlined in blush pink and olive—an abstract nod to architectural forms. The striped field gives the illusion of texture and depth, creating a sense of movement across the surface while remaining serene. The border contrasts subtly yet playfully, featuring alternating motifs such as diamond quartered medallions, stylized crosses, and symbolic "I"-shaped blocks rendered in peach, brick red, teal, ivory, and ochre. These are framed by outer bands with vertical striping and repeating crosses, introducing earthy greens and soft browns that reinforce the artisanal handwoven character of the rug. Crafted in the traditional rölakan technique, this flat-weave is made entirely of wool, ensuring both durability and tactile comfort. Its design language is emblematic of Swedish modernism—clean yet not stark, decorative yet restrained. 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.
