Swedish Rag Rug BB8110 7'8" × 10'2" $18,000

This bold vintage Swedish rag rug exemplifies mid-century Scandinavian textile artistry with a powerful geometric composition and vivid colorwork. Handwoven using the rya technique, the rug features a lush, tactile surface that adds warmth and depth to any space.

The central motif showcases a series of red arrow-like triangles and elliptical forms set against a richly variegated field of earthy browns, rusts, and golds, evoking a painterly texture. Sharp black and ivory vertical and horizontal bars break up the composition with graphic precision, bordered at either end by soft gray edges and tasseled fringes.

The rug’s dramatic palette—anchored by deep reds, burnt orange, black, and creamy white—adds a strong architectural presence while maintaining a sense of movement and dynamism typical of Swedish modernism. This piece is both functional and collectible, ideal for design lovers looking to incorporate authentic vintage character into contemporary interiors.

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.
