About the Item
Vintage Swedish Flat Woven Signed With Initials GK
Size: 5'5" × 7'10" (165 × 238 cm)
Color: Beige, Blue, Brown, Yellow
This striking vintage Swedish flat-woven rug, attributed to designer GK, showcases the timeless appeal of Scandinavian textile artistry through a bold, geometric composition rendered in a serene, natural palette. Handwoven in the mid-20th century, the piece reflects the hallmark principles of Swedish Modernism—simplicity, function, and refined aesthetic sensibility.
The design centers around a luminous ivory field that creates a sense of openness and tranquility. This minimalist core is surrounded by a dynamic stepped border in warm brown and mustard hues, evoking architectural motifs or stylized battlements. Enclosing this structure is a sea-green outer frame punctuated with rhythmic white and terracotta accent squares—small yet intentional touches that lend the composition an element of visual cadence.
The overall structure of the rug achieves a harmonious balance between restraint and ornamentation, while the palette of earthy neutrals and muted greens speaks to the natural world so often revered in Scandinavian design. The handwoven texture adds subtle tonal variation, enhancing its artisanal character.
Signed in the lower corner with the initials “GK,” this rug is both a decorative object and a piece of collectible design heritage. Ideal for modern, rustic, or minimalist interiors, it functions equally well as a floor covering or a wall-hung textile artwork.
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.
