Swedish Pile Rug BB8351 9'10" × 11'1" $24,000

Exuding warmth, charm, and masterful craftsmanship, this vintage Swedish pile rug showcases the sophisticated artistry of Scandinavian textile design from the mid-20th century. The square format of the piece provides a perfectly balanced canvas for its meticulously hand-knotted pile construction and vibrant visual composition.

The rug features a richly saturated field of terracotta and rust tones, arranged in a lattice of diamond shapes filled alternately with stylized floral medallions and smaller, geometric rosettes. Cool lavender, slate blue, and pale ivory motifs dance across the surface, offering a harmonious contrast to the warm ground and creating a sense of rhythm and cohesion.

Framing the field is a bold yet refined border design, with layered geometric bands in complementary hues of taupe, grey, and periwinkle. These repeating triangular and lozenge forms echo the symmetry and movement of the central pattern, drawing the eye inward while grounding the composition.

Crafted from high-quality wool, the rug features a lush pile that provides both visual depth and tactile luxury. The reverse side reveals traditional Swedish weaving techniques with multicolored striped bands, further emphasizing the piece’s authenticity and attention to detail.

This rug is a striking example of Scandinavian modernism—marrying folk motifs with contemporary aesthetics—and is ideally suited to spaces that celebrate craftsmanship, color, and design heritage. Whether placed in a living room, study, or gallery setting, it brings with it the enduring soul of Swedish artistry.
