Scandinavian Mid-Century Geometric Slate Gray Flatweave Wool Rug By Ulla Parkdal BB7887 6'5" × 9'9" $20,000

This vintage Scandinavian flatweave wool rug, titled Sparrenholm and designed by Ulla Parkdahl in the mid-century period, reflects the clean-lined textile tradition of the region.

Its slate gray field is organized into a precise geometric trellis, where stepped lozenges and cross-like motifs repeat in measured vertical columns. Light blue, dusty pink, ivory, and navy accents soften the structure, while the restrained border keeps the composition crisp and architectural. The result is a design that feels orderly yet animated, with a subtle rhythm that draws the eye across the surface.

Handwoven in a flatweave technique, the rug has the tactile clarity associated with Scandinavian weaving: durable, graphic, and quietly refined. The wool construction gives the palette a gently heathered depth, making this vintage geometric rug an easy fit for modern, Scandinavian, or transitional interiors that benefit from a structured but approachable foundation.
