Vintage Swedish Rug by Anna Joanna Angstrom, Country of Origin: Swedish, Circa Date: Mid-20th Century – Vibrant and exciting, this beautiful vintage carpet was designed by noted Swedish weaver Anna Joanna Angstrom, one of the most celebrated figures of all mid-century Scandinavian designers. This delightfully modern kilim boasts a bold palette of reds, as well as highly geometric structure throughout. Right angles invite interpretation and imbue the piece with energy. The composition of this vintage Swedish kilim rug is fairly straightforward: a band of dark red runs around the perimeter of the vintage Swedish rug by Anna Joanna Angstrom, acting as a border. Within the field, an exciting geometric pattern unfolds, wherein rectilinear figures of various shades of red interact with one another in intriguing ways.
