Mid-Century Scandinavian Geometric Warm Tan Flatweave Wool Rug BB4940 5'6" × 8'0" $20,000

This vintage Swedish flatweave rug, woven in the mid-20th century in the Scandinavian rölakan tradition, brings a disciplined geometric vocabulary to a warmly colored wool ground. Its handwoven construction gives the surface a crisp, low-relief character that suits both collector interiors and modern rooms in need of texture.

The design is organized into horizontal bands of warm tan, golden yellow, ochre, and amber, each separated by slender ivory lines that clarify the structure. Small cross motifs punctuate the field in a measured rhythm, while short striped accents lend subtle movement. A dark brown frame border anchors the composition and gives the piece an architectural, almost panel-like presence.

Balanced between restraint and color, this Scandinavian vintage rug offers the quiet order of a geometric flatweave with enough warmth to soften clean-lined furnishings. Its calm repeat, tactile wool weave, and refined palette make it especially well suited to interiors inspired by Swedish modernism, where pattern is meant to define a space without overwhelming it.

Sourced from the expansive Doris Leslie Blau collection, this vintage rug exemplifies the gallery's passion for preserving remarkable carpets of enduring beauty. DLB offers a diverse selection of antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs, accommodating collectors and designers across every style and budget.
