Scandinavian Mid-Century Geometric Light Beige Flatweave Wool Rug BB4679 6'2" × 8'10" $10,000

This vintage Scandinavian flatweave wool rug, circa 1940, reflects the region’s restrained mid-century textile tradition, where practical handweaving met a clean modern sensibility. Handwoven in wool, it has the durable, tactile character associated with Nordic floor coverings of the period and a quiet presence that suits lived-in interiors.

Across the warm tan field, stepped diamonds and cross-like forms form a regular allover lattice that reads as orderly rather than ornate. Soft beige, sand, taupe, and pale cream tones shift gently across the surface, creating subtle depth and a measured sense of movement. The repeat is architectural, giving the rug a balanced, grounded presence.

That understated rhythm makes it especially suited to Scandinavian, modern, and warm-minimal interiors, where texture and proportion matter more than contrast. As a vintage flatweave rug, it brings the crispness of a woven textile and the ease of a neutral palette, offering an elegant foundation for furniture without competing with it and works beautifully in layered, design-led rooms.

Curated by Doris Leslie Blau, this vintage rug represents the enduring beauty and craftsmanship that have defined the gallery since its establishment in 1965.
