Scandinavian Vintage Geometric Blue Flatweave Wool Rug By Ulla Parkdal BB8318 5'5" × 8'0" $9,000

This vintage Swedish flatweave wool rug by Ulla Parkdal comes from the Scandinavian weaving tradition and brings mid-century restraint to a room. Its handwoven composition feels orderly yet expressive, pairing practical durability with the clarity collectors expect from Swedish modern design, especially in a format that needs visual definition without visual weight.

The field is layered in blue tones, from soft denim to deeper navy, with faint horizontal striations that lend quiet movement across the surface. A geometric border in ivory, mint, aqua, and navy frames the interior with repeating stepped motifs, creating a disciplined rhythm that reads as both decorative and architectural. The open center keeps the composition light, while the border delivers enough presence to anchor a seating area.

As a flatweave, it sits close to the floor and works well in seating areas, studies, and coastal or contemporary interiors. The wool construction gives the piece a supple, tactile presence, and the visible UP monogram in the corner adds a discreet note of authorship and collectible appeal for design-minded collectors.

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