Scandinavian Mid-Century Geometric Slate Gray Flatweave Wool Rug By Ulla Parkdal BB8058 5'3" × 7'9" $14,000

This vintage mid-century Scandinavian flatweave wool rug by Ulla Parkdal was woven within the Swedish modern tradition, bringing a crisp 20th-century sensibility to the world of Scandinavian vintage rugs. Its low-profile construction and disciplined geometry make it as practical as it is refined.

The composition is organized around a slate gray ground with stacked rectangular modules in blue, teal, seafoam, soft violet, and pale aqua. Rather than a conventional medallion or floral border, Parkdal uses a centered block arrangement framed by darker outer sections, creating a measured rhythm that feels architectural. Small ivory connectors punctuate the design and add a subtle sense of movement.

Handwoven in wool, the flatweave has a clear, tailored surface that suits contemporary interiors, mid-century settings, and rooms that benefit from pattern without heaviness. The palette stays cool and layered, allowing the rug to read as both understated and graphic, while the monogrammed corner underscores its designer pedigree.

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.
