Rustic Vintage Swedish Shag Pile Modernist Rug 46631

Swedish Rug, Scandinavia, Mid 20th Century – Rendered in a mod painterly style, this vintage Swedish rug is a textural work of art with its luxurious long pile, layered abstract patterns and fab palette knife decorations. Radiant ochre yellows and broad swatches of robust chestnut browns are skillfully melded together on the eggshell white background, which functions as a blank canvas. The painterly texture is emphasized dramatically by the speckled textures and dappled appearance of the background peeking through the abstract decorations. This innate ability to transform expressive designs into works of art for the floor is the secret behind the enduring and ever-growing popularity of Scandinavian rugs, which has been overwhelming from the mid-20th century through today.
