About the Item
Vintage Scandinavian flat-weave wool rug. Woven initials and date to edge 'IO 1928'
Size: 7'9" × 11'6" (236 × 350 cm)
This exceptional flat-weave rug, handwoven in Finland in 1928, embodies the elegance and innovation of early 20th-century Nordic design. is a bold exploration of early 20th-century modernist aesthetics rendered in textile form. The design is centered around broad vertical bands in muted shades of mauve, slate gray, and deep teal, complemented by intricate linear motifs in soft lilac and rust brown, framed by a sand border. Intricate line work in stepped, scroll-like motifs adds a sense of structured rhythm, evoking both traditional kilim influences and Art Deco modernism.
The outer field is framed by decorative borders featuring a sequence of stepped and squared forms, while inner accents display stylized geometric figures—some resembling mirrored brackets or labyrinthine meanders—typical of Nordic folk art with a modernist twist. A teal outline frames the central panel, providing subtle contrast and structural balance.
Woven in flat weave technique, the rug’s texture is firm and smooth, emphasizing its clean linear forms. The bottom corner is dated “1928,” showcasing the piece’s historical provenance. With its understated elegance and graphic strength, this Scandinavian rug effortlessly bridges the gap between function and fine art.
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.
