About the Item

Swedish Flat Woven Runner Circa: 1955 Size: 2'9" × 8'9" (83 × 266 cm) Age: Vintage Color: Blue, Brown, Taupe, Yellow Origin: Scandinavia This exceptional vintage Swedish flat-woven runner, measuring 9' x 3', embodies the spirit of Scandinavian design with a bold geometric flair and harmonious color palette. Likely woven in the mid-20th century, this rug showcases a masterful interplay of form and function—hallmarks of Swedish textile artistry. The runner is grounded by a rich chocolate brown field, upon which a rhythmic arrangement of stylized cross-like forms unfolds. Rendered in soft pastels and muted earth tones—peach, dove gray, dusty rose, ochre, cornflower blue, and olive—these interlocking motifs create a dynamic visual cadence across the entire length of the piece. The subtle asymmetry in the color placement adds a modernist tension to an otherwise balanced composition. A fine cobalt blue border, delicately woven at either end, adds a subtle contrast and frames the design with a crisp finish. The rug’s flat-weave construction emphasizes texture and durability, making it both a visually striking and practical addition to hallways, entryways, or contemporary interiors seeking a touch of Scandinavian warmth. With its mid-century roots and timeless appeal, this Swedish runner is not just a floor covering—it is a textile expression of understated elegance and innovative design. 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.
