Vintage Kilim by Ingegerd Silow, Sweden, Mid 20th Century — True to its Swedish style and roots, this area rug is woven in simple shapes and colors, letting the abstract figures establish the definition throughout. The icy blue background creates crisp contrast, drawing the viewer’s attention to the foreground, which features a larger series of bars that seem to be lashed together over two vertical lines. Darker blues, snowy whites, coffee browns and silky beiges create motion in the way that they stand against each other in the angular patterns that are symmetrically prevalent along the bars.
