Mid Century Modern Geometric Design Vintage Flat Woven Swedish Kilim Rug 45231

Swedish Rug, Sweden, Early 20th Century – Classically modern, this handsome vintage rug created in Sweden circa 1920 depicts an Arabian octofoil medallion flanked by calligraphic appendages. Ebony-colored blocks arranged in a fenestration pattern decorate the corners of the papyrus-colored field. Multiple sets of crisscrossing borders with broken boundaries frame the sparsely decorated field alongside a series of poly chromatic stripes that reflect the subdued combination of ebony, tawny brown, golden-yellow and emerald green that is featured throughout the composition. Created circa 1920, this striking vintage Swedish rug features strong rectilinear geometry, graphic motifs and a minimalist composition that embodies an air of classic modernism, a trend that was introduced in the early 20th century and prevails today.
