Vintage Swedish Rug, Sweden, Mid 20th Century – This chic mid-century vintage rug from Sweden depicts a classically modern series of tiled compartments. These formal quadrilateral figures are dissected by a network of ornate strap work bands. The handsome compartmental tiles are adorned with stepped roundels and decorative lozenges arranged in a precise hourglass pattern that waxes and wanes across the field. Undulating ashen gray borders with meandering outlines create an artful frame that follows the decorative contours of the ornate motifs that appear within the field. The soft neutral color scheme has a classically modern style with striated variegation that incorporates a handsome selection of timeless accent colors.
