This whimsical vintage mid-century kilim displays a fanciful collection of neutral-tone reindeer placed in a compartmental grid and set over a chic blue ground.

Vintage Flat Woven Kilim Swedish Rug, Country of Origin: Sweden, Circa Date: Mid-20th Century – Whimsical yet timeless, this countrified vintage rug displays a stylized visage and decisive pattern-making skills that highlight the textures and natural shapes produced by its enduring flat-weave construction. Sylvan brown stripes become borders and prominent dividers that create a compartmental grid with help from hash-mark lines that travel across the field vertically. Alternating blocks contain solitary reindeer in varied colors that form slanting stripes while retaining a delightful sense of randominity. The beautifully drawn reindeer have oversized antlers, patterned bodies and the most charming flat-weave hooves. These delightful creatures are set against a cool blue ground that has a countrified aura and decidedly Nordic feel. These original patterns, organic textures and understated colors are ideal for a cottage or modern space with rustic details that embody the mid-century zeitgeist.
