Mid-Century Scandinavian Geometric Warm Tan Flatweave Wool Rug Signed Initial (Jr) BB8381 4'3" × 6'7" $9,000

This vintage Swedish flatweave rug, signed with the initials JR, reflects the restrained clarity of mid-century Scandinavian design. Woven in wool, it pairs a warm tan ground with a balanced geometric framework that feels both disciplined and quietly decorative.

The composition centers on an open field of softly striated tan, giving the rug a calm, airy presence. Around it, a tailored border unfolds in repeating panels of stepped diamonds, block-like forms, and narrow stripe motifs, rendered in light beige, brown, and golden yellow. The pattern is bilateral and highly regular, creating a pleasing architectural rhythm without becoming rigid.

That contrast between openness and structure is what gives the piece its appeal. The flatweave construction adds a tapestry-like texture and keeps the surface crisp, making it especially effective in modern interiors, warm-minimal rooms, or layered alongside other vintage textiles. It is a grounded, versatile Swedish rug with unmistakable Scandinavian character.

Curated by Doris Leslie Blau, this vintage rug carries the distinct character and artisanal soul that the gallery has championed for decades. With an unrivaled selection spanning eras, origins, and price points, Doris Leslie Blau continues to make fine carpet art accessible to designers and collectors worldwide.
