Vintage Geometric Ivory And Crimson Hand-Knotted Wool Rug Double Sided BB7877 9'8" × 10'3" $18,000

This captivating vintage flat-weave rug, handwoven in the mid-20th century, showcases the bold visual rhythm and practical craftsmanship characteristic of Nordic textile design. Made using the double-sided weaving technique, this piece offers versatility in presentation, with both sides exhibiting equally dynamic appeal.

The rug features an all-over geometric pattern composed of stepped, zigzagging linear motifs in ivory set against a vivid crimson red ground. This repeated design not only lends an optical, almost kinetic effect to the surface but also nods to traditional Swedish weaving motifs through a distinctly modernist lens.

On the reverse side, the palette is reversed, highlighting the ivory background punctuated by the same rhythmic red patterns, maintaining the integrity of the design while offering an alternate visual experience. The even tension, crisp transitions, and meticulous structure of the weave attest to the high level of Scandinavian craftsmanship.

This flat-weave rug would make a striking statement in any interior setting—from minimalist and modern to layered and eclectic. Its color-forward palette and two-in-one functionality make it a rare and desirable collector’s piece.

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.
