Scandinavian Mid-Century Geometric Light Gray Flatweave Wool Rug By Alice Walleback BB8305 4'7" × 6'7" $7,000

This vintage Swedish flatweave rug by Alice Walleback reflects mid-century Scandinavian weaving at its most disciplined and refined. Handwoven in wool using the traditional Rölakan technique, it combines a light gray ground with a calm, architectural layout that feels precise without becoming severe.

The design is organized as a regular grid of stepped square compartments, each one built from layered blue and green planes around a warm yellow-orange center. Those repeated geometric units create a quiet optical rhythm, while the broader border bands in washed blue frame the composition with a softened, tailored finish. The result is abstract yet orderly, with enough movement to animate a modern room.

Its cool palette of light gray, denim blue, pale aqua, moss green, and amber makes this Swedish flatweave especially versatile for contemporary, Nordic, and minimalist interiors. Signed at the border, it carries the assurance of a makerly touch and the clarity of a well-edited vintage design.

Sourced from the expansive Doris Leslie Blau collection, this vintage rug exemplifies the gallery's passion for preserving remarkable carpets of enduring beauty.
