About the Item
Mid-20th century Swedish green handmade wool rug
Size: 10'6" × 15'9" (320 × 480 cm).
A rare and striking example of mid-century Swedish textile design, this vintage flat weave rug embodies the geometric abstraction and folk-art influences that define Scandinavian modernism. Woven entirely by hand, the rug features a rich sea-green field, overlaid with a symmetrical arrangement of abstract motifs resembling stylized flowers, tree forms, or possibly human-like figures, rendered in shades of aubergine, burnt orange, salmon, ivory, mustard, lavender, and teal.
The design elements are crisp and intentional, with the figures and lozenge shapes spaced evenly across the field, creating a rhythmic, almost musical effect. A multi-layered border frames the composition — first with a bold aubergine band, then a secondary band featuring repeating diagonal geometric motifs in ivory, ochre, chestnut brown, and turquoise, which adds texture and motion to the otherwise serene layout.
The flat weave technique, known in Sweden as rölakan, contributes to the rug’s light yet durable handle, and the weave is reversible — a testament to both functional craftsmanship and artistic integrity. The gentle abrash (color variation) in the green ground suggests the use of natural dyes and hand-spun wool, adding warmth and character to the piece.
This rug is a perfect representation of Swedish modernist ideals: utilitarian yet artistic, humble in material yet sophisticated in execution. It would suit both contemporary and classic interiors — particularly those with a love for Nordic design, mid-century aesthetics, or artisanal craftsmanship.
As part of Doris Leslie Blau’s curated collection, this Swedish rug represents the timeless elegance and superior craftsmanship associated with mid-century Scandinavian textiles. Doris Leslie Blau offers rugs in a wide range of prices, ensuring that both collectors and design enthusiasts can find unique and high-quality pieces to complement their spaces. Whether placed in a modern or traditional environment, this vintage rug serves as both a functional floor covering and a work of art, adding depth and character to any space.
