Swedish rug, mid-century, Ingrid Dessau– Pleasantly restrained and masterfully composed this exceptional vintage rug from Sweden – created by artist Ingrid Dessau – is an authentic example that less really is more. The lush malachite-colored field is speckled with carefully placed lozenges that are rendered in a lighter hue of soft jade green. This simplistic mineral green color palette continues in the delightful borders, which feature a fenestrated network of inset lozenges that surround a series of somber monochromatic squares. Sleek monochromatic edge pieces with zigzagging contours frame the wide borders and provide a fitting closure to the minimalist composition. This spectacular mid-century Swedish kilim is signed with the artist’s initials “ID” and was designed by the highly active textile artist Ingrid Dessau, who was known for her meticulous use of color.
