Built with stepped lozenges and simple geometric shapes, this charming Scandinavian kilim features a variety of sophisticated gem tones with variegated highlights.

Mid Century Modern Design Swedish Rug, Scandinavia, Mid 20th Century – Designed and woven by Swedish master weaver Marta Maas Fjetterstrom, this bold kilim features a striking repeating pattern constructed with strong stepped lozenges that retain an air of levity and playfulness. Hash-mark stripes comprised of tiny lozenges run through the interlocking tiles unifying the poly chromatic pattern. Embodying her classic style, this Marta Maas Fjetterstrom creation possesses a unique subtlety in the colors, which tangibly influences the simple geometric motifs that decorate the field. The mottled variegation adds subtle undertones and variations to the poly chromatic lozenges and contributes secondary hues to the saturated gem-tone color palette. Angular ram’s horn motifs and stepped lozenges rendered in ivory and citrine yellow embellish the subtly colored borders and decorative end pieces while continuing the simple geometric theme that emboldens the olive green, taupe and cerise-colored field.
