About the Item
Vintage Swedish Tapestry Rug
Size: 1'10" × 3'5" (55 × 104 cm)
This vintage Swedish tapestry rug, woven in the mid-20th century, is a vivid example of Scandinavian textile artistry. Handwoven in the tapestry (flat-weave) technique, the rug features a structured and balanced composition characterized by bold geometric forms and a distinctive Nordic folk aesthetic.
The design centers on a series of medallion-like motifs arranged in a vertical axis, flanked by mirrored secondary elements. Stylized eight-point stars, checkerboard diamonds, and stepped polygons are rendered in warm tones of brick red, cream, soft gold, and deep navy — a palette that evokes both rustic tradition and mid-century modernism. The border features interlocking motifs in a rhythmic pattern, adding cohesion and decorative detail.
Woven in wool on a wool foundation, the rug displays the tight structure and fine detailing typical of Swedish flat-weaves. Its lightweight and reversible construction makes it not only practical but also versatile for various applications — from floor covering to wall hanging.
With its harmonious symmetry, timeless folk motifs, and vibrant colorwork, this vintage Swedish tapestry rug is a beautiful example of Scandinavian weaving heritage, ideal for adding warmth and character to both modern and traditional interiors.
Showcasing the finest materials and patterns, this design is part of the expansive Doris Leslie Blau Collection, renowned for its rare and unique finds across a wide range of prices.
