Vintage Scandinavian Deco Rug by Ege, Country of Origin: Scandinavia, Circa Date: Mid-20th Century – Crafted in the mid-20th century, this stylish vintage rug represents the gestalt of contemporary design. The wildly expressive Pollock-style composition showcases graphic brush strokes and painterly smudges accented by energetic paint drips. Transparent swatches and speckles of negative space emphasize the painterly, textural appearance of this textile creation. Poufs of vermillion, dots of periwinkle and drips of celadon are worked into a tempest of kohl black brush strokes that furiously crisscross the composition. Even the borders have a naturalistic painterly appearance with undulating contours and deckled edges that are offset sharply by the sumptuous parchment-colored field. This definitive vintage art carpet embodies Scandinavia’s spirit and passion for design, which made EGE a leader in stylish floor coverings for mid-century homes, and their abstract designs are no less desirable today.
