Scandinavian Vintage Geometric Ivory Flatweave Wool Carpet BB8395 8'9" × 14'9" $41,000

Vintage Swedish flatweave wool carpet from Sweden, made in the Scandinavian tradition, this mid-century piece balances folk craftsmanship with a clean architectural layout. Its woven surface has the crisp, low-profile character prized in Swedish flatweaves, making it as practical as it is decorative.

The composition is built from a warm terracotta-red field arranged in disciplined rows of ivory square medallions, each containing a compact starburst-like device and letterform-inspired detailing. Small crossed motifs punctuate the spaces between the larger blocks, lending the rug a measured, graphic cadence. Rather than feeling ornate, the design reads as orderly and intentional, with the kind of restrained symmetry that suits Scandinavian interiors so well.

A strong brown-and-ivory zigzag border frames the field and gives the carpet an architectural edge, while the broad outer band reinforces its tribal-modern presence. The palette of terracotta, cocoa, and soft ivory feels grounded and versatile, ideal for layering into a contemporary room, a collected modern setting, or a more rustic interior that benefits from clear pattern and warm color.

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.
