Scandinavian Vintage Geometric Dusty Rose Flatweave Wool Carpet by Marta Gahn for Svensk Hemslöjd BB8191 8'3" × 9'5" $28,000

This vintage Swedish flatweave wool rug, designed by Marta Gahn for Svensk Hemslöjd, reflects the disciplined craft of mid-century Scandinavian weaving. Handwoven in wool, it brings together a simple structure and a quietly expressive palette rooted in Nordic design traditions.

A dusty rose field spans the composition with a soft, brushed-looking striation that gives the surface depth without disturbing its calm. Scattered miniature geometric marks in cream, pale blue, ochre, and brown add a measured rhythm, while the border system provides definition: a slate-blue outer frame, a brown inner band, and crisp cream registers with linear motifs at the top and bottom. The result is restrained, graphic, and tailored.

Rather than relying on ornament, the rug creates atmosphere through balance and proportion. Its open ground, subtle color shifts, and flatwoven construction make it especially well suited to interiors that favor Scandinavian warmth, modern clarity, and an easy sense of order. The small MG monogram at one corner further underscores its designer attribution.

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.
