Midcentury Swedish Blue, Red, Yellow and Beige Flat-Woven Wool Rug BB5802 5'5" × 7'0" $18,000

This striking vintage Scandinavian flatweave rug exemplifies the bold geometric sensibilities of mid-20th-century Nordic design. Woven in the 1950s, the piece features a dynamic, grid-like composition formed by rows of square and cross motifs in complementary hues. Each cream square contains a central red or yellow accent, framed by intersecting shades of cornflower, slate, and royal blue, all set against a natural gray-beige field.

The interplay of symmetry and vibrant contrast creates a sense of rhythm and balance while preserving the softness of the Scandinavian aesthetic. The flatweave construction enhances the crispness of the design and offers versatility for both modern and traditional interiors.

Crafted in wool, the rug retains its original handwoven charm and showcases the meticulous craftsmanship typical of mid-century Swedish textiles. Its relatively small size (7′ x 5′) makes it ideal for layering or for use in intimate spaces like reading nooks, offices, or under accent furniture. This piece is not only a decorative statement but also a collectible example of Scandinavian weaving at its artistic peak.

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.
