About the Item

Vintage Double Sided Swedish Flat Weave Rug Size: 4'0" × 6'4" (121 × 193 cm) This striking vintage Swedish flat weave rug exemplifies the ingenuity and versatility of mid-century Scandinavian textile design. Woven in the 1950s, the piece is fully reversible, offering two equally compelling yet distinct faces—each with its own variation of the geometric pattern. The dominant design features elongated, interlocking diamonds in bold cherry red, accented by shades of gray and cream, arranged in a dynamic, mirrored formation that pulses with rhythm and motion. The crisp symmetry is softened by the subtle irregularity of hand-weaving, giving the rug a deeply human character. The opposing side showcases a slightly more muted interpretation of the same motif, providing versatility for different moods or settings. Crafted using the traditional Swedish “rölakan” flat weave technique, the rug is both durable and decorative, making it ideal for modern interiors that value clean lines and timeless form. The natural wool yarns contribute to its warmth and texture, while the graphic pattern speaks to the Scandinavian Modernist movement—merging functionalism with bold visual flair. Whether placed in a contemporary loft, mid-century home, or eclectic interior, this double-sided rug is more than a utilitarian floor covering—it’s a dynamic piece of woven art that celebrates balance, geometry, and understated Scandinavian elegance. This rug is part of the esteemed Doris Leslie Blau collection, 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.
