$18,000

An exceptional example of mid-century modern Swedish textile design, this vintage flat-weave rug captures the refined abstraction and earthy palette characteristic of Scandinavian aesthetics. Handwoven in the 1950s, the rug showcases a sophisticated arrangement of geometric shapes rendered in soft shades of camel, sand, umber, rust, and cream. The central field features an array of asymmetrically placed rectangles and squares, suggesting a stylized architectural grid or modernist cityscape, framed by a wide border of vertical stripes and intricate pattern blocks that subtly echo the interior forms.

The color scheme—anchored by muted earth tones with accents of terracotta and pale stone—offers warmth and modern elegance. The interplay of solid and outlined forms adds depth and texture, while the overall composition remains balanced and visually engaging. Made with high-quality wool, the rug retains its structural integrity and gentle patina, reflecting the durability and craftsmanship of Swedish weaving traditions.

Ideal for interiors that embrace natural materials, clean lines, and understated sophistication, this rug would complement modern, Scandinavian, or rustic contemporary decor.

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.
