Swedish Flat Weave Rug by Mary Sandberg BB8286 5'5" × 8'2" $9,000

A stunning example of Swedish textile artistry, this vintage flat-weave rug by Mary Sandberg embodies the signature qualities of Scandinavian design—simplicity, balance, and warmth. Woven in a harmonious palette of earthy ochres, sun-baked oranges, warm browns, and soft creams, the composition radiates a quiet yet confident charm.

The central motif features mirrored geometric medallions composed of interlocking stepped diamonds and stylized floral rosettes, forming a symmetrical layout evocative of traditional Swedish rya and kilim patterns. These motifs are meticulously arranged around a crisp, ivory-toned field that brings clarity and light to the design.

Framed by a deep brown border, the rug also incorporates linear elements and striped panels on each side, adding rhythm and a modern touch to the otherwise folk-inspired composition. The weaving is executed with impeccable precision in the classic rolakan flat-weave technique, which ensures durability without sacrificing softness or texture.

Measuring approximately 8′ × 6′, this piece is both artful and functional—ideal for collectors of Scandinavian design or anyone seeking a refined yet cozy textile statement. Mary Sandberg’s monogram “M.S” is subtly woven into one corner, affirming its authenticity and maker’s mark.

Showcasing the finest materials and patterns, this design is part of the expansive Doris Leslie Blau Collection, renowned for its rare and unique finds across a wide range of prices.
