Vintage Scandinavian Rug, Sweden, Circa: Middle Part of the 20th Century – The regal peacock is a popular and enduring artistic motif that is found far and wide. This flat woven, tapestry or Kilim-like, vintage rug from Sweden features a very lively and abstract exploration of the classic peacock figure. The vibrant pomegranate-red field of this imaginative Swedish rug incorporates blushing pink color variations and abrashed accents that are set off from the robust teal frame. Each angular peacock motif features trailing tail feathers decorated with colorful chevrons and lozenges that capture the iridescent colors of the flamboyant peacock. The pomp and style of these magnificent birds are cleverly highlighted in the staged poses that portray the peacock like a contestant voguing in a glamorous pageant. This spectacular vintage Swedish rug which can also serve as a wall hanging tapestry, pays homage to the royal peacock in a fresh and imaginative way.
