Vintage Swedish Carpet by Marta Maas Fjetterstrom, Country of Origin: Scandinavia, Circa date: Mid-20th Century – Expertly woven and crisply styled, this mid-20th century vintage Swedish kilim area rug utilizes several motifs common the Swedish folk craft tradition. Nordic pinwheel stars dominate the visual space of the rug, arranged in a grid over a field of beige. The interior of the rug is bordered by a rectangular band of pastel-colored geometrical shapes, which serve to separate the banded interior from the wall of Nordic pinwheels that line the extremities of the rug. The fine details of this rug and their crisp weaving demonstrate a mastery of the craft on the part of the Marta Maas Fjetterstrom, and the use of color and pattern throughout combine to make this a true treasure from its tradition.
