Swedish Kilim Rug, Sweden, Early 20th Century – This definitive mid-century rollaken showcases a superb combination of subtle low-chroma colors paired with uncompromising geometric figures that cover the cleverly decorated field. Tessellating geometric motifs with crenellated contours form a seamless tiled pattern accented with a handsome combination of woolly browns, lichen greens, rocky grays and buttery yellows that are set over a delicate ecru ground. The brilliant, intelligently composed repeating pattern is softened by a subtle collection of tasteful pastel colors and achromatic accents that are perfectly mid-century. This archetypal flat-weave rug features an impeccable geometric pattern that embodies the design strengths and many talents of Judith Johansson, one of Sweden’s most celebrated independent designers and master weavers.
