About the Item
Doris Leslie Blau Swedish Flat Woven Rug by Solveig Westerberg
Size: 6'6" × 9'6" (198 × 289 cm)
This striking vintage Swedish flat-woven rug is a signed work by the noted textile artist Solveig Westerberg, whose initials “SW” are subtly incorporated into the corner of the weave. Woven in the mid-20th century, this piece is a beautiful example of Swedish modernist design balanced with folk-art charm.
The rug features a deep chocolate-brown field imbued with tonal variation, giving it a sense of organic texture and depth. Across this dark background, Westerberg deploys a symmetrical arrangement of abstract floral motifs in vibrant pops of color—powder blue, lavender, crimson, blush pink, mint green, and goldenrod—creating a vibrant border that evokes stylized blossoms and sprouting forms. The inner field is scattered with simple diamond motifs in ivory and golden yellow, adding lightness and rhythm to the otherwise grounded palette.
The outermost edge is defined by a jagged golden border that echoes traditional Scandinavian weaving patterns while enhancing the geometric precision of the composition. This juxtaposition of rustic, earthy tones with crisp modern abstraction reflects the innovative design sensibility of Westerberg, who was known for blending regional craft heritage with mid-century aesthetics.
Woven entirely by hand in durable wool, this rug is not only a collectible work of textile art but also a functional, timeless statement piece for a modern interior.
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.
