Vintage Swedish Flat-Weave Wool Rug, Signed VF-e-65 BB8057 4'10" × 6'10" $9,000

This remarkable vintage Swedish flat-weave wool rug, woven circa 1950, showcases the timeless elegance and artistic innovation of Scandinavian textile design. Signed with the woven monogram VF-e-65, the piece exudes a refined modernist sensibility while embracing the functionality and warmth characteristic of Swedish weaving traditions.

The design features a dynamic geometric motif composed of arrow-like chevrons in subtle tones of steel grey, ivory, and muted blue, arranged in vertical rows that evoke rhythm and movement. These structured elements are punctuated by a series of goldenrod diamond shapes that add a vivid counterpoint and visual intrigue. Delicate accents of teal and ochre stitching interspersed throughout the composition provide depth and texture, enhancing the rug’s sense of layered craftsmanship.

Expertly handwoven in a flat-weave technique, this piece balances durability with softness underfoot. The minimalist border grounds the composition, framing the central pattern with quiet sophistication. The rug’s palette and pattern reflect mid-century Swedish design’s emphasis on harmony with nature, light, and spatial clarity.

Perfect as a floor centerpiece or an artful wall hanging, this signed rug embodies both historical charm and modern appeal. Whether in a minimalist interior or a more eclectic setting, it lends an understated yet impactful design presence.
