About the Item
Striking Swedish Geometry: A Vintage Flat-Weave by Rakel Carlander
Size: 5'7" × 7'7" (170 × 231 cm)
Color: Beige, Brown, Gray, Red, Taupe
Infused with the bold spirit of Scandinavian modernism, this vintage Swedish flat-woven rug by Rakel Carlander captures the power of pattern and palette in perfect harmony. Woven circa mid-20th century, the rug features a strong architectural composition based on a rhythmic grid of geometric medallions, each framed in a subtle border that enhances its symmetry and visual impact.
Carlander’s mastery of form is evident in the commanding use of diamonds and hourglass shapes rendered in deep reds, earthy browns, cool greys, and touches of soft cream. These rich, warm tones radiate against the flat-weave’s fine texture, creating a sense of depth without the need for pile.
The weaving technique—true to Swedish rya and flat-weave traditions—results in a durable yet elegant textile, ideal for both modern and traditional interiors. Decorative yet understated, the rug balances boldness with refinement, making it a perfect centerpiece for any curated space.
Signed discreetly in the corner with the initials RC, this piece bears the personal mark of a designer whose contribution to 20th-century Swedish textile art continues to resonate today.
Rich in heritage and artistry, this handmade rug exemplifies the high standards of Doris Leslie Blau’s curated pieces. With a wide range of prices, Doris Leslie Blau makes exceptional rugs accessible to collectors and designers alike.
