Antique Swedish Kilim Rug 3372

Art Deco Rug, China, Early 20th Century - Arrestingly modern in its reliance on simple abstract linear geometry, this elegant Swedish tapestry rug or Rollakan is reminiscent of early twentieth century expressionist painting like Klee or Mondrian. The central panel seems to float on top of the outer design, which may in modern terms be a type of broad border framing the smaller interior field.
