Swedish Mid-Century Navy Blue Hand-Knotted Wool Rug BB6396 4'5" × 8'6" $7,000

This mid-century Swedish Rya rug is a hand-knotted wool piece rooted in Scandinavian textile tradition. Its plush pile and relaxed, modern character make it a persuasive example of vintage Swedish design.

A deep navy blue field is organized by strong vertical banding in black and muted teal, creating a rhythmic stripe pattern that feels graphic yet unfussy. Across the surface, irregular accents in forest green, olive, and pale yellow appear like scattered marks of color, softening the geometry and giving the composition a painterly, almost abstract expression.

The result is a rug with real visual movement and tactile depth. It brings structure to contemporary interiors while preserving the easy, casual sensibility associated with Swedish modernism, making it well suited to a living room, bedroom, or layered design scheme that calls for color, texture, and quiet distinction.

Curated by Doris Leslie Blau, this vintage rug carries the distinct character and artisanal soul that the gallery has championed for decades. With an unrivaled selection spanning eras, origins, and price points, Doris Leslie Blau continues to make fine carpet art accessible to designers and collectors worldwide.
