About the Item
Vintage Swedish Rolakan Runner by (GK)
Size: 3'2" × 7'6" (96 × 228 cm)
This vintage Swedish flat-weave runner, attributed to designer GK, showcases the distinctive charm of Scandinavian textile artistry. Woven entirely by hand, the rug is a celebration of color, balance, and traditional geometric motifs. Its palette is both bold and warm, featuring rich terracotta, ochre yellow, forest green, indigo blue, and creamy ivory hues that interplay harmoniously across a vibrant composition.
The field is organized in a rhythmic series of medallion-like motifs, framed by stepped patterns that echo traditional kilim iconography. A central band of intricate, angular shapes is set against an ivory background, giving the piece a luminous contrast that draws the eye inward. The design is enclosed within a decorative border of interlocking stair-step and cross forms in brown and mustard, adding both structure and complexity.
Woven in durable wool, this rug is not only visually striking but also tactile and robust—designed for everyday use while embodying the artistic sensibility of 20th-century Swedish modernism. The signature "GK" subtly integrated into the weave confirms its authenticity and maker's pride.
Showcasing the finest materials and patterns, this design is part of the expansive Doris Leslie Blau Collection, renowned for its rare and unique finds across a wide range of prices.
