Divided neatly into four quadrants, this carpet is simultaneously honest and straightforward as well as complex and intelligent.

Vintage Mid Century Swedish Flat Woven Kilim Rug, Country of Origin: Sweden, Circa: Mid-Twentieth Century – This particular vintage Swedish flat woven Kilim rug is especially appealing, and is a testament to the power of minimalist aesthetics. Divided neatly into four quadrants, this carpet is simultaneously honest and straightforward as well as complex and intelligent. Each of the four quadrants features a large, geometric design element that is evocative of flowers as well as traditional central medallions. These converge together, leaving the exact center of the carpet distinct from the remainder of the composition. In this Swedish vintage kilim rug, the blue, brown, red, and green that color the quadrants disappear. Instead, we are left with a faintly colored section that speaks to the entire carpet. Carefully composed and beautifully executed, this vintage Swedish flat woven Kilim rug is quite the decorative piece.
