Swedish Rugs, Scandinavia, Mid 20th Century – Created circa 1950, this inventive vintage rug from Sweden depicts an abstract pattern of irregular compartments that are decorated with stylized shapes and ambiguous figures. The warm burgundy red background features calming brown undertones that offset the bold opposing color scheme. Vibrant reds, regal purples, subtle gray accents and crisp white hues are artfully combined to create a stunning pattern that is thoroughly modern and perfectly represents the archetypes of mid-century style. The broken pattern of fenestrated windows lends an unpredictable and abstract nature to the composition while the somber background creates a solid constant that catches the eye and unifies the separate compartments and bold colors.
