Beautiful Mid Century Modern Square Size Vintage Swedish Kilim Rug, Country of Origin: Sweden, Circa Date: Mid 20th Century – Like other beautiful Swedish Kilim rugs, this beautiful vintage Scandinavian rug combines raw colors and patterns to convey a sense of elegant simplicity. What it lacks in concrete forms, it more than makes up for in stunning arrangements and use of contrast. The vintage rug is dominated by a series of horizontal lines. Primary stripes of red and blue are broken up by smooth, milky white tones, drawing attention to the activity within each stripe. Both types of stripes feature exquisite barred lines spiraling horizontally across their form, almost as if telling a story in their frequency and form. No two arrangements in this Swedish Kilim rug are the same, and the suggested chaos of the lines still manages to ground the viewer through the use of strong, rigid forms.
