Swedish Rug, Scandinavia, Mid-20th Century – This iconic mid-century Scandinavian kilim features one of the most distinctive designs developed by the legendary Marta Maas-Fjetterstrom. This classically modern kilim showcases a timeless repeating pattern of stepped blocks rendered in a fantastic blue colorway that incorporates handsome hues of lapis, rose-red, cerulean and fallow brown. Cleft blocks with ram’s horn accents line the edges of the field and play off of the sharp right-angle contours, which are a prominent theme throughout the composition. The bold border motifs artfully reflect the geometric theme and softly oxidized jewel tones that define this classically styled mid-century kilim. In this stunning variation of the ‘Bruna Heden’ pattern, soft colors, strong designs and decorative woven accents create a textural masterpiece. Fjetterstrom’s distinguished repeating motifs have modern features and historic roots that are perfect for today’s eclectic minimalist aesthetic.
