Information

This mid-century flat-woven carpet was produced in Sweden during the 1950s by an unknown designer. It features a geometric pattern characteristic of Scandinavian textile design from the period, with repeating rows of stylized motifs in warm and earthy tones. The color palette combines beige and cream as the base, with accents of ochre yellow, burnt orange, grey, and muted brown. The composition is framed by patterned borders at both ends, incorporating abstract shapes and symmetrical arrangements.

The weaving technique is consistent with traditional Swedish flat-weave methods, resulting in a durable yet flexible textile with a smooth surface. The motifs are arranged in vertical and horizontal alignment, creating a rhythmic structure that reflects the Scandinavian approach to balance and proportion. This type of carpet would have been handwoven, likely in wool, using natural dyes to achieve its tonal variations.

The piece remains in good vintage condition with visible patina, showing signs of age and use consistent with its history. Some small stains are present, adding to its authentic vintage character. Its style aligns with mid-century Scandinavian modernism, where functional craftsmanship and aesthetic clarity merge.

Dimensions are 239 x 169 cm (approximately 94.1 x 66.5 inches).
