Antique Swedish rug — Antique Scandinavian Tapestry Rug from Sweden, 1920’s While the design and effect of this lovely Swedish rug appear initially to be so modern in spirit, the open field with a crenellated pattern at the sides comes from antique Anatolian kilims or from earlier Swedish rugs and textiles that imitated such precursors.
