Vintage Scandinavian Kilim by Ingegerd Silow 48112

Vintage Scandinavian Kilim by Ingegerd Silow, Origin: Sweden, Circa: Mid-20th Century – Here is a unique and appealing vintage carpet – a Scandinavian kilim that was woven in Sweden during the middle years of the twentieth century. Possessed of a quiet and serene beauty, this comely piece was designed by the celebrated Ingegerd Silow, one of the most important and widely admired of all mid-century Scandinavian designers. The composition is quintessentially Swedish, and showcases some of the more important and sought-after qualities of mid-century example. For instance, the large geometric figures that appear throughout the piece are typical in such pieces. Further, the straightforward, almost deconstructed nature of the composition, which features simple horizontal borders and a sparsely adorned field are in standing with some of the more important developments to have emerged from the style. Underneath the clear modernity of the composition are the traditional ideas that characterized Swedish weavings of the past. This, combined with the soft pallet of pale blue and ivory, make this carpet a truly exceptional and truly appealing example.
