Vintage Swedish Rug, Country Of Origin: Scandinavia, Circa Date: Early 20th Century – This elegant double-sided vintage rug from Sweden showcases an elegant geometric tile pattern rendered in a beautiful selection of neutral hues. Elongated octagonal lozenges and hourglass trilateral motifs are arranged in a seamless pattern of tessellating tiles. Linear lozenges with chevron-like arrows are superimposed over the elegant tile pattern. This versatile double-sided carpet features an elegant combination of oatmeal, ashen gray and warm walnut brown paired with chic ivory details. The reverse face of this stylish vintage Swedish rug created circa 1920 showcases an identical pattern rendered in a beautifully varied selection of cool-tone neutrals that highlight different aspects of the same exquisite and highly geometric tile pattern. By placing neutrals of varying intensity in alternating patterns, the focus of the composition shifts to highlight different elements in a truly ingenious manner.
