Mid-Century Swedish Geometric Cream Flatweave Wool Rug By Anna-Greta SjöQvist BB5686 5'2" × 8'0" $20,000

Handwoven in Sweden circa 1950, this vintage flatweave wool rug by Anna-Greta Sjöqvist captures the disciplined simplicity of mid-century Scandinavian design. Its cream ground and compact scale give the piece a light, tailored presence, while the geometric repeat introduces a steady visual rhythm rooted in Nordic weaving tradition.

The design unfolds as a precise compartmental grid of rectangular cells, each holding a bold abstract emblem. Alternating navy blue, light blue, and dusty pink bands create a calm cadence across the field, and the ivory motifs stand out with crisp, architectural clarity. Narrow striped separators sharpen the layout and reinforce the rug’s measured, almost woven-in geometry.

Fringed ends and the flatweave construction preserve its handcrafted character, lending texture without visual heaviness. Equally suited to a modern living room, reading nook, or intimate dining area, this Swedish geometric rug brings mid-century order, soft color, and quiet graphic energy to contemporary interiors.

Part of the expansive Doris Leslie Blau collection, this vintage rug reflects the gallery's dedication to preserving exceptional craftsmanship and distinctive design traditions. Its character, patina, and artistry make it a sophisticated addition to thoughtfully curated interiors.
