Doris Leslie Blau Vintage Yellow Swedish Half Pile by Elsa Gullberg

About the Item

Yellow Mid-Century Swedish Half Pile rug Designed by Elsa Gullberg Size: 4'0" × 5'10" (121 × 177 cm) This exquisite Swedish half-pile rug is a refined example of Elsa Gullberg’s pioneering textile work and a hallmark of mid-century Scandinavian design. Woven in a harmonious palette of camel and beige, the rug features a subtle geometric labyrinth pattern formed through a masterful interplay of cut and loop pile techniques—a signature of the half-pile construction. The restrained rectilinear motif, created through tone-on-tone variations and pile height, delivers both texture and depth without overwhelming the eye. Gullberg’s design ethos emphasized simplicity, utility, and a connection to natural materials, all of which are clearly expressed in this piece. With its warm, neutral tones and tactile richness, this rug is an ideal foundation for interiors that value modernist clarity and timeless craftsmanship. Whether placed in a serene bedroom, an understated sitting room, or a design-forward office, this rug embodies the enduring legacy of Swedish modernism and the visionary work of Elsa Gullberg. This exquisite rug is part of the diversified Doris Leslie Blau selections, 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.
