Swedish Mid-Century Striped Light Beige Flatweave Wool Rug Double Sided BB7697 5'7" × 8'0" $14,000

A striking example of mid-century Swedish textile artistry, this vintage flat-weave rug, handwoven in the 1950s, showcases both visual balance and practical versatility. Crafted in the classic rölakan technique, this double-sided piece is fully reversible, offering two equally compelling surfaces in soft, earthy tones.

Its design features rhythmic bands of stylized arrow or spear motifs rendered in a muted palette of warm taupe, ash gray, ivory, and natural beige. The pattern is structured through alternating horizontal rows of symmetrical pointed forms, flanked by finely striped guard borders that bring visual cohesion and movement. The subdued coloration and repeating geometric forms evoke a distinctly Scandinavian sense of calm minimalism, making it ideal for both modern and traditional interiors.

This rug exemplifies the Swedish tradition of functional beauty, where refined design meets everyday utility. It remains in excellent condition and retains its authenticity through subtle variations in hand-spun wool and artisanal weave.

With its unique pattern and refined colors, this vintage rug reflects the impeccable taste of Doris Leslie Blau’s selections. Offering both rare, high-end pieces and more accessible options, Doris Leslie Blau presents rugs in a wide spectrum of prices.
