Vintage Scandinavian Geometric Pale Sand With Yellow Flatweave Wool Rug – Double Sided Fragment BB7713 5'7" × 11'10" $8,000

This vintage Scandinavian flatweave rug, handwoven in the mid-20th century, draws from the Swedish textile tradition and presents itself as a double-sided fragment. Its calm, borderless composition reflects the practical elegance for which Scandinavian weaving is admired, balancing restraint with finely judged pattern.

The design is built from an orderly sequence of small horizontal ovals and tiny dot rows that drift across the pale sand and yellow ground in disciplined bands. The result is geometric without feeling rigid: soft, rhythmic, and quietly architectural. The low-contrast palette keeps the surface airy, while the repeated motifs create a gentle sense of movement that suits modern, minimalist, and mid-century interiors alike.

Woven in wool as a flatweave, the rug has the crisp, durable character associated with Nordic handwork. Its reversible construction adds versatility, and the fragment format preserves the original textile’s decorative clarity in a more adaptable form. Subtle wear softens the graphics further, giving the piece an easy, lived-in refinement.
