Sleek and modern, this spectacular vintage Swedish kilim features an impeccable double-sided pattern that includes chic X-motifs and angular lozenge-like Os.

Swedish Rugs, Scandinavia, Mid 20th Century – Infinitely stylish, this minimalist vintage Swedish kilim showcases an outstanding small-scale repeating pattern. The chic visage depicts subtle bistre colored glyph that are set over a sleek ecru colored field. Tightly spaced X’s and O’s form a strategic pattern of repeating figures with staggered spacing that cleverly links the isolated motifs. These invisible lines form a series of external lozenges that surround the central lozenge-shaped roundels. The stunning repeating pattern is polarized on the reverse side, which showcases chic white figures that are set over a handsome bistre-colored field that has subtle oyster blue undertones. When combined, the minimalist repeating pattern, reserved color palette and elegant borderless composition create an impressive result that is the paradigm of modern design.
