Richly detailed and phenomenally composed, this double-sided vintage Swedish Kilim features a stunning compartmental pattern separated by rows of folksy stars.

Vintage Swedish Double-Sided Kilim, Origin: Sweden, Origin: Mid 20th Century – This archetypal vintage rug from Sweden depicts a precisely crafted double-sided composition with compartmental tiles that are separated by bands of eight-pointed stars. These charming star motifs infuse the composition with local traditions, folklore and whimsy while maintaining a sophisticated visage. The effective achromatic color palette incorporates compartmental tiles and traditional geometric stars that are rendered in a combination of chic achromatic neutrals, including warm walnut brown, snowy whites and woody bole browns, which are juxtaposed beautifully. The subtle dividing lines that separate the contrasting tile quadrants continue in the whimsical borders and end pieces that enclose the traditional Scandinavian rug composition with the help of striped segments and subtle hash-mark ends.
