Scandinavian Mid-Century Abstract Blue Flatweave Wool Carpet BB7836 6'4" × 10'0" $16,000

This vintage Scandinavian flatweave wool carpet, woven in the mid-20th century, reflects the clean-lined restraint of Nordic textile design. Crafted in a flatweave construction, it trades ornament for texture, allowing the weave itself to shape the composition.

The field is a soft denim blue, enlivened by subtle strié and tonal shifts that move through gray, violet, and muted green. Rather than a central medallion or enclosing border, the rug reads as an open plane of color, with the horizontal grain of the weave creating a gentle sense of motion across the surface. This quiet, almost atmospheric finish gives the piece a calm, architectural presence.

At both ends, a narrow cream terminal with small black geometric crosses and natural fringe provides a crisp visual edge. The contrast is restrained but effective, adding definition without disturbing the rug’s serene character. Ideal for modern, Scandinavian, or gallery-like interiors, it offers a versatile wool foundation with understated depth.

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.
