About the Item
Vintage Swedish flat weave rug signed with Initials (IV)
Size: 6'4" × 9'1" (193 × 276 cm)
This captivating vintage Swedish flat weave rug, signed with the initials “IV” (attributed to Inga-Mi Varnéus Rydgren), exemplifies the enduring appeal of Scandinavian textile artistry. Woven in the mid-20th century, the rug showcases a striking composition rich in symmetry, texture, and earthy yet vibrant tones.
At the heart of the design lies a central column of alternating diamond and triangle motifs, rendered in a lively mix of ochre, plum, and aquamarine. These geometric forms—hallmarks of the Swedish modernist aesthetic—evoke a sense of rhythm and movement while maintaining balance within the composition. Flanking the central band are successive rows of stylized stepped-chevron and arrowhead shapes, arranged in mirrored alignment to guide the eye outward.
The rug’s nuanced color palette is both grounded and expressive, blending sage green, wheat gold, burnt sienna, and hints of violet and azure. This natural harmony is elevated by subtle tonal shifts that give the flat weave depth and dimension despite its pile-less structure.
Framed with solid, warm-toned borders, the composition gains further cohesion and emphasis, while the finely interwoven detailing reveals the technical expertise behind its creation. Handwoven using traditional techniques, likely from wool, the rug reflects the high standards of Swedish craft.
Ideal for collectors of Scandinavian modern design or anyone seeking a timeless statement piece, this rare textile merges heritage and modernity with effortless grace. 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.
