Vintage Scandinavian Swedish Kilim Rug, Origin: Sweden – Balanced in every aspect, this Scandinavian rolaken incorporates a charming assortment of flat-weave motifs and right-angle accents rendered in soft colors that capture the mid-century look. The border-focused design of this vintage rug is streamlined, understated and attractively simple. Inset lozenges in alternating colors leapfrog around the perimeter along with sienna cornerstones and ashen blocks. Stepped figures and accents straddle the line between border and field, making a subtle incursion that alters the scale and emphasizes the rectilinear borders. This well-composed pattern is paired with variegated mustard brown borders and a soft gray outer frame. These strong tonal sections and variegated background colors offset the buttery yellow field beautifully while emphasizing the understated style of the unadorned surface. Flat-weave textures, right-angle shapes and classic mid-century colors are masterfully employed within this traditional Swedish rug.
