Vintage Swedish Geometric Slate Gray Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Pile BB6238 4'8" × 6'0" $3,000

Hand-knotted in Sweden circa 1950, this vintage pile rug reflects the disciplined geometry and restrained craftsmanship associated with Scandinavian weaving traditions. Worked in wool, it balances a slate gray ground with a vivid arrangement of red, ivory, and warm ochre accents for a composition that feels both modern and rooted in hand-made tradition.

The design is organized in stacked horizontal registers, each one carrying a crisp grid of square panels filled with pinwheel-like diagonal forms. Repeated triangular bands at the top and bottom lend the rug a rhythmic edge, while the minimal border keeps the field open and architectural. The strong contrast between the muted background and saturated motif colors gives the piece its graphic clarity.

Its high-pile texture adds softness and depth, making the pattern read almost as woven relief. Well suited to contemporary, Scandinavian, or eclectic interiors, this vintage Swedish rug brings structure, color, and a collected sensibility without visual heaviness.

Part of the expansive Doris Leslie Blau collection, this vintage rug reflects the gallery's dedication to preserving exceptional craftsmanship and distinctive design traditions. Its character, patina, and artistry make it a sophisticated addition to thoughtfully curated interiors.
