Vintage Swedish Floral Brown Flatweave Wool Rug By Solveig Westerberg Signed “Sw” BB8533 6'6" × 9'6" $16,000

Signed “SW” by Solveig Westerberg, this vintage Swedish flatweave wool rug reflects the pared-back elegance of Scandinavian weaving traditions. Woven in the mid-20th century, it offers the crisp structure and tactile character associated with a handwoven flatweave, making it especially well suited to contemporary interiors.

The composition is built on a rich chocolate brown field, lightly striated to suggest depth and movement. Along the borders, repeated stylized floral and geometric units appear in balanced rows, each rendered in soft pink, powder blue, pale green, ivory, lavender, and yellow. Their rhythmic placement leaves generous negative space at the center, where small diamond motifs drift across the field with quiet regularity.

A narrow golden ground and sawtooth edge frame the design, reinforcing its graphic clarity without adding visual weight. Equal parts folk-art charm and modern restraint, this Scandinavian rug brings warmth, pattern, and a calm decorative cadence to contemporary, transitional, or design-led rooms.

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.
