Mid-Century Swedish Geometric Dark Gray Flatweave Wool Carpet Double-Sided BB7609 4'2" × 5'8" $5,000

This vintage Swedish flatweave carpet from mid-century Scandinavia is a reversible Rölakan-style textile, woven in the long tradition of functional, design-led Nordic rugs and prized for its balance of craftsmanship, restraint, and everyday versatility in geometric interiors.

Its composition is organized into broad dark gray bands alternating with light beige grounds crossed by mustard yellow lattice stripes. The repeated crisscross motif adds movement without disrupting the calm, borderless layout, giving the rug a crisp architectural presence. Rather than ornamental flourish, the pattern relies on rhythm, proportion, and contrast to create its visual appeal.

Rendered in wool, the flatweave has a low-profile surface and the practical durability associated with Swedish weaving. The double-sided construction extends its usefulness while offering flexibility in styling. In contemporary, minimalist, or Scandinavian interiors, it can anchor a room with graphic clarity, soften natural wood, and introduce a quietly modern accent in open-plan spaces and collector-minded interiors.

Curated by Doris Leslie Blau, this vintage rug represents the enduring beauty and craftsmanship that have defined the gallery since its establishment in 1965. Doris Leslie Blau is celebrated worldwide for sourcing extraordinary rugs ranging from accessible vintage finds to rare collector-quality masterpieces.
