Mid-Century Swedish Floral Cream Flatweave Wool Rug By Rakel Carllander BB8377 5'6" × 7'8" $7,000

This mid-century Swedish flatweave wool rug by Rakel Carllander is woven in the Scandinavian rölakan tradition, pairing a practical tapestry-like structure with the refined decorative sensibility associated with postwar Swedish design.

A soft cream ground, touched with a pale green cast, frames an oval central medallion filled with stylized blossoms in blush pink, rose, cornflower blue, pale sage, and warm yellow. Smaller floral sprays drift across the open field, while scrolling corner ornaments and a delicate border of cream and gold keep the composition balanced, light, and quietly rhythmic.

The design feels romantic without losing its discipline, and the flatweave construction gives every motif crisp definition. Handwoven wool adds a gentle texture and natural warmth, making the piece especially effective in interiors that favor Scandinavian modern ease, Arts and Crafts character, or a softer vintage accent with botanical charm. Its airy layout allows it to anchor a room without overwhelming adjoining furnishings.

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.
