About the Item

Mid-20th century Swedish flat-weave wool rug Size: 5'3" × 7'7" (160 × 231 cm) A striking example of mid-century Scandinavian design, this vintage Swedish flat-weave rug exemplifies both simplicity and graphic elegance. Woven by hand using high-quality wool, the piece features a clean, geometric layout that balances symmetry with bold color contrasts. The central field is structured as a checkerboard grid composed of alternating soft gray and white squares, bordered by a vibrant red framework that adds dynamic structure to the composition. This lattice is mirrored along the rug’s perimeter with a contrasting design: blocks in rich crimson red are marked by minimalist cross motifs in white—an iconic detail often seen in Swedish textile art. What makes this rug particularly unique is its reversible design, allowing for two visual experiences. One side features a predominantly light ground with red grid lines and accents, while the other inverts the scheme with a saturated red field bordered by lighter squares—making it versatile for various interior aesthetics. Charming in its balance of functionality and artistry, this flat-weave rug embodies the best of Swedish modernist craftsmanship—ideal for collectors, design enthusiasts, or anyone looking to introduce a piece of Scandinavian heritage into a contemporary home. 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.
