About the Item

Mid-20th Century Swedish rolakan rug by Gavleborgs Lans Hemslojd Size: 6'7" × 9'9" (200 × 297 cm) This striking vintage Swedish flat-weave rug, attributed to the esteemed Gävleborgs Läns Hemslöjd, dates back to the 1950s and showcases the height of Scandinavian textile artistry. Woven by hand using traditional techniques, the piece features a dynamic geometric design composed of overlapping triangles and linear motifs, arranged in a mesmerizing, almost rhythmic grid-like pattern. The color palette balances warm amber, ochre, and mustard yellows with earthy browns, charcoal, and flashes of plum and eggplant tones, creating a bold contrast and remarkable visual movement. The flat-weave construction lends the rug a clean, modern profile, while the natural wool fibers contribute both durability and a subtle texture. Typical of mid-century Swedish design, the rug reflects both the Bauhaus influence and local folk traditions, merging form with function in a piece equally suited for modern or eclectic interiors. Whether used as a statement floor covering or a decorative wall tapestry, this vintage rug represents a unique fusion of artistry and utility that has come to define Swedish textile design. With its unique pattern and refined colors, this vintage rug reflects the impeccable taste of Doris Leslie Blau’s selections. Offering both rare, high-end pieces and more accessible options, Doris Leslie Blau presents rugs in a wide spectrum of prices.
