Mid-Century Swedish Geometric Red Flatweave Wool Rug By Sofia WidéN BB9181 5'8" × 13'0" $26,000

This vintage Swedish flatweave wool rug by Sofia Widén reflects mid-century Scandinavian weaving traditions, bringing geometric clarity to a handwoven textile from Sweden. Its composition feels disciplined yet expressive, the kind of vintage rug that bridges folk craft and modern design with ease.

Across the variegated gray-lilac ground, stepped red forms build a strong vertical rhythm, while navy blue, sky blue, ivory, and small green accents punctuate the surface. Mirrored motifs repeat from top to bottom, creating an architectural cadence that reads almost like a modernist textile wall piece. The allover layout keeps the eye moving without relying on a border or medallion.

The flatweave construction gives the rug a low, versatile profile and lets the wool’s texture remain visible beneath the saturated color. Bold but restrained, it works beautifully in Scandinavian, contemporary, or eclectic interiors where graphic pattern and vintage character are equally important. Widén’s design language is especially appealing to collectors who value Swedish modernism with a handcrafted finish.

This remarkable vintage rug comes from the curated collection at Doris Leslie Blau, renowned for its discerning eye for quality, artistry, and timeless design. Doris Leslie Blau presents an exceptional range of vintage, antique, and contemporary rugs suited to both classic and modern interiors.
