Swedish Pile Rug BB8475 6'5" × 8'10" $19,000

This delightful mid-century Swedish pile rug offers a playful yet refined take on Scandinavian folk art traditions. Woven in the 1950s, the rug features a symmetrical composition structured by vertical bands of lavender and soft plum, each adorned with a diamond-shaped medallion flanked by red and gray floral motifs resembling stylized blossoms or snowflakes.

Set against a golden-honey field with subtle tonal striations, the design is animated by a scattering of small linear and arrow-like accents in chestnut, umber, and lilac. These motifs bring a rhythmic sense of movement to the rug, echoing natural elements such as twigs or branches—common themes in Swedish textile design.

Framed by a soft gray inner border and a rich oxblood outer edge, the rug achieves a grounded balance between warmth and structure. The pile is luxuriously dense yet soft underfoot, made from high-quality wool that enhances the vivid but earthy palette.

With its graphic clarity and whimsical charm, 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.
