Vintage Swedish Geometric Cream Flatweave Wool Rug RöLakan Signed By (Gk) BB7710 5'6" × 8'0" $17,000

This vintage Swedish Rölakan flatweave wool rug, signed “GK,” reflects the refined geometric tradition of Scandinavian weaving. Woven in the vintage period, it pairs a crisp architectural layout with the warmth of handwoven wool, making it a notable example of Swedish textile art.

The composition is organized around three stepped medallion forms in terracotta and cream, each punctuated by compact navy, teal, and pale yellow motifs. A generous ivory field creates breathing room between the shapes, while the surrounding taupe-brown border, edged in soft gold and dotted with small square accents, adds structure and folk-inspired detail. The result is rhythmic, balanced, and quietly graphic.

As a flatweave, it offers texture without visual weight, allowing the pattern to anchor a room while keeping the overall look airy. Its mix of brick red, cream, olive, and indigo makes it especially effective in modern, Scandinavian, or eclectic interiors, and the signed corner adds a layer of collector interest.

Sourced from the expansive Doris Leslie Blau collection, this vintage rug exemplifies the gallery's passion for preserving remarkable carpets of enduring beauty. DLB offers a diverse selection of antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs, accommodating collectors and designers across every style and budget.
