Swedish Mid-Century Geometric Cream Beige Flatweave Wool Carpet By Ulla Parkdal Signed “Up” BB7709 5'2" × 7'10" $9,000

This vintage Swedish flatweave wool carpet by Ulla Parkdal, signed “UP” in the weave, was made in Scandinavia in the mid-20th century. Woven in the rolakan tradition, it captures the disciplined clarity of Swedish modernism while retaining the warmth and tactility that make vintage Scandinavian rugs so enduring. Fringed ends and the signed corner reinforce its handmade authenticity.

The composition is built from a quiet architectural grid of rectangular blocks, arranged in a centered panel with broad brown borders and no conventional ornamental frame. A luminous cream core softens the design, while warm tan, golden yellow, beige, and umber squares create a measured rhythm around it. Thin orange bands add a lively, almost hovering accent.

That balance of structure and softness gives the carpet a calm graphic presence ideal for contemporary interiors, Scandinavian rooms, and refined minimalist settings. As a vintage geometric rug, it offers the character of a collectible textile with the practicality of a durable flatweave, bringing texture, order, and tonal warmth to the floor.

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.
