Vintage Swedish Kilim 45651

Swedish Rug, Scandinavia, Mid 20th Century - Stepped lozenges, inset geometric figures, arrow-like fetter symbols and coffered squares set inside stepped octagons create a harmonious repeating pattern set over a mottled and beautifully textured walnut brown background. This inventive Scandinavian kilim embodies the diverse range of patterns and shapes that can be created solely with right-angle motifs. Tiled squares, serrated leaves linked by central bands and coffered squares set inside stepped octagons support the central column of interconnected rectilinear motifs. Golden-yellow fetter symbols and contrasting motifs feature an elegant selection of earthy colors, including ivory, walnut brown, golden yellow, stormy gray and Prussian blue. Simple rectilinear borders enclose the symmetric and carefully apportioned field. In the traditional Scandinavian style, this textural and highly geometric kilim features a wonderful variety of textured stripes and variegated details.
