Swedish Rug, Scandinavia, Mid 20th Century – This charming Scandinavian kilim created circa 1950 features prominent border motifs and zigzagging outer borders surrounding a series of cusped asteroid motifs. Precisely aligned asteroids rendered in eggshell white and citrine yellow decorate the somber walnut brown field that is embellished with a series of subtle stripes. Conglomerate motifs incorporating poly chromatic roundels and a series of crenellated lozenges suspended from colorful canary yellow and white crescents create a dominant border that encloses the delicately patterned field. Zigzagging citrine borders with strongly serrated outlines provide a final frame that complements the muted yellow hues used throughout the field of this whimsical Scandinavian kilim. As with many Scandinavian textiles, this charming flat-woven carpet features simple motifs and soft colors that lend a whimsical folk-art flair to this mid-century kilim created circa 1950.
