Artistic Flat Woven Swedish Kilim Area Rug, Scandinavia, Mid 20th Century – Playful yet earnest, this delightful vintage mid-century Scandinavian kilim depicts an outstanding pattern of tessellating fish that exude a warm, clever and charming style. Using advanced mathematics and geometric principles, the tightly spaced school of fish seamlessly fits together creating a beautiful scalloped tile pattern. Vibrant contrasting colors, subtle chambray textures and quirky eyelets define the boundaries of each finely finned creature. The clever color scheme highlights the bold blue background while re purposing the oceanic hues that appear within the intricately patterned field of this fantastic vintage Swedish kilim, which was created during the mid-20th century.
