Mid-Century Swedish Geometric Sage Flatweave Wool Rug BB4789 8'7" × 11'2" $24,000

This vintage Swedish flatweave wool rug, handwoven in the 1940s, reflects the clean-lined tradition of Scandinavian Modern design. Its calm sage-green center is left largely open, allowing the composition to feel grounded, airy, and quietly architectural.

Rather than relying on an allover repeat, the design is organized by a strong border system. Rust-brown framing, stepped corner devices, and crisp meander-like outlines create a tailored geometry, while cream zigzag accents soften the structure with subtle contrast. Narrow striped guard bands in brick red, ivory, and sage add rhythm around the perimeter and reinforce the rug’s mid-century character.

Executed in durable wool with a traditional flatweave construction, this Swedish rug has the light, reversible quality associated with rölakan weaving. Its restrained palette and disciplined pattern make it an easy fit for modern interiors, bringing texture, order, and understated color to rooms that favor vintage Scandinavian design.

This remarkable vintage rug comes from the curated collection at Doris Leslie Blau, renowned for its discerning eye for quality, artistry, and timeless design. Doris Leslie Blau presents an exceptional range of vintage, antique, and contemporary rugs suited to both classic and modern interiors.
