Vintage Swedish Flat-Weave Rug Signed "GO 1952"

About the Item

Vintage Swedish Flat-Weave Rug Signed "GO 1952" Size: 6'3" × 9'8" (192 × 295 cm) This charming vintage Swedish flat-weave rug from 1952, signed with the initials “GO,” is a compelling example of mid-century Scandinavian textile artistry. Woven in wool, it features a rhythmic and structured design composed of alternating horizontal rows of geometric square motifs and stylized track-like forms rendered in earthy tones. The color palette is soft yet lively, combining a neutral oatmeal field with accents of chocolate brown, sage green, dusty rose, cornflower blue, and mustard yellow. Each square motif—concentric and symmetrical—is imbued with a playful, almost pixel-like precision, offering a dynamic counterbalance to the rugged symmetry of the ladder-like horizontal bars. The darker brown outer border frames the composition beautifully, grounding the overall lightness of the central pattern. Subtle and sophisticated, this rug exemplifies the Swedish “Rölakan” weaving tradition, prized for its durability, simplicity, and graphic clarity. The date and initials woven into the rug not only authenticate its provenance but also add a personal, almost archival touch that connects the object to its maker and moment in time. Rich in heritage and artistry, this handmade rug exemplifies the high standards of Doris Leslie Blau’s curated pieces. With a wide range of prices, Doris Leslie Blau makes exceptional rugs accessible to collectors and designers alike.
