Swedish Mid-Century Geometric Light Beige Flatweave Wool Rug By Mary Sandberg BB8286 5'5" × 8'2" $9,000

This vintage Swedish flatweave wool rug, designed by Mary Sandberg in the mid-century period, reflects the clean-lined Scandinavian weaving tradition. Its light beige field is organized with unusual symmetry, giving the piece the clarity of a modern composition while preserving the warmth and tactility associated with Swedish textile art.

Mirrored stepped forms rise from the upper and lower ends toward a compact central medallion, while small rosette-like motifs punctuate the surface with a measured rhythm. Narrow vertical stripes and crossbars create an architectural axis, and the deep brown border frames the design with crisp definition. Mustard, peach, warm tan, and soft ivory layer the surface with depth without disturbing the rug’s calm geometry.

Because the drawing is so balanced and open, the rug works beautifully in contemporary interiors, where it can soften clean-lined furnishings and add a handcrafted Scandinavian note. The flatweave construction keeps the profile refined, making it as practical as it is decorative.

Curated by Doris Leslie Blau, this vintage rug represents the enduring beauty and craftsmanship that have defined the gallery since its establishment in 1965.
