Vintage Mid Century Modern Swedish Marta Maas Fjetterstrom Bla Plump Kilim Rug 46846

Swedish Rug, Scandinavia, mid century – This superb vintage mid century modern Marta Maas-Fjetterstrom flat weave kilim carpet showcases an alluring allover repeating pattern that embodies the artist’s timeless sense of style. The softly colored field is full of flat-woven textures and covered by a sumptuous pattern of neutral-tone stripes that offset the chic lavender and aubergine decorations. These octagonal seed heads are surrounded by a cushion of filamentous stripes reminiscent of barbed burdock motifs used as symbolic devices throughout the greater carpet-producing world. Alternating rows of dark aubergines and pastel periwinkles give the restrained repeating pattern decorative variations that are harmonious and carefully planned. Fiery persimmon color blocks offset the amethyst purples and punctuate the exquisite repeating pattern while linking the orange accent pieces that line the ends of the field and frame the composition.
