Vintage Scandinavian Flat-Weave Rug BB8961 6'2" × 9'3" $18,000

This vibrant vintage Scandinavian flat-weave rug, attributed to the mid-20th century, is a testament to the region’s rich weaving tradition and love of geometric simplicity. Handwoven in a kilim technique, the rug features a visually compelling field of interconnected diamonds arranged in a grid-like formation. Each diamond is uniquely patterned, combining motifs reminiscent of stars and medallions, lending the rug a sense of movement and individual charm.

The palette is quintessentially Scandinavian, with muted tones of terra cotta, dusty blue, soft sage, sand, and golden wheat. These earthy yet airy colors are balanced by crisp outlines in chocolate brown, creating a graphic and structured effect. The border follows suit with a meandering vine-like motif that mirrors the geometric rhythm of the central design.

Flat-woven using high-quality wool, this rug embodies both durability and tactile softness, making it ideal for modern interiors looking to incorporate warmth, heritage, and a touch of artisanal artistry. Whether styled in a contemporary or rustic setting, this piece offers timeless appeal rooted in Nordic design principles.
