Swedish Pile Rug BB8089 6'7" × 9'10" $25,000

Embodying the best of Scandinavian textile artistry, this vintage Swedish pile rug offers a masterclass in mid-century modern design through the lens of hand-knotted craftsmanship. Woven circa the 1950s, the rug features a richly textured surface that seamlessly combines subtle structure with a bold yet balanced aesthetic.

The design unfolds in an abstract, almost architectural composition of intersecting linear forms and tonal gradations, rendered in a refined palette of earthy neutrals—soft grays, oatmeal, yellow, warm taupe, and muted browns. These tones are skillfully layered in directional patterns and tonal shifts, creating dynamic visual movement while preserving a soothing, grounded presence.

Its thick, plush pile not only delivers luxurious comfort underfoot but also accentuates the depth and dimensionality of the woven motifs. Unlike flatweaves, this pile construction gives the rug a cozy warmth and tactile richness, making it particularly suited for intimate living spaces or quiet retreats.

Handcrafted in Sweden, the piece reflects the core tenets of Scandinavian design: simplicity, harmony, and quality materials. Whether integrated into a minimalist modern interior or used to add texture to a rustic or bohemian setting, this rug is both functional art and a collector’s piece.

With its unique pattern and refined colors, this vintage rug reflects the impeccable taste of Doris Leslie Blau’s selections. Offering both rare, high-end pieces and more accessible options, Doris Leslie Blau presents rugs in a wide spectrum of prices.
