Mid-Century Swedish Geometric Slate Gray Flatweave Wool Rug By Erik Lundberg BB7889 6'5" × 9'9" $17,000

This vintage Swedish flatweave rug by Erik Lundberg was woven in Scandinavia during the mid-20th century, translating Nordic modernism into wool with remarkable restraint and clarity.

The composition centers on a slate gray-blue rectangular field, built from fine horizontal striations that give the surface a subtle sense of movement. Small white geometric details punctuate the center, while the surrounding ivory ground is organized with evenly spaced cross-like motifs in soft sky blue, navy, and warm beige. Narrow striped bands between the sections reinforce the rug’s orderly, architectural cadence.

A deep blue border neatly frames the design, sharpening its geometry without disturbing the calm palette. Signed in the weave, it carries the quiet authority of a collectible Scandinavian flatweave, equally suited to clean-lined contemporary rooms, Nordic interiors, or transitional spaces that benefit from tailored pattern and subdued color. The result is disciplined, textural, and distinctly mid-century in spirit.
