Vintage Double Sided Scandinavian Kilim Runner Rug, Origin: Sweden, Circa: Mid-Twentieth Century – Here is an exciting and interesting vintage rug – a vintage double sided Scandinavian kilim hall runner rug that was woven in Sweden during the middle years of the twentieth century. Consisting simply as a series of narrow horizontal bands, this vintage Swedish kilim exemplifies the finest trends in minimalist aesthetics to have developed during the mid-twentieth century. Shades of green, blue, red and brown make up the alternating thin and narrow horizontal stripes that give this double-sided kilim its composition. There is no immediately discernible repeating pattern here, with some stripes being expressed with wide stokes and others appearing as simple narrow lines. The horizontal nature of the detail work combined with the vertical format of the carpet itself creates an intriguing effect, in which both the vertical and horizontal aspects of the piece are emphasized – all with minimal decorating. An exciting exercise in the timeless appeal of minimalism, this vintage Scandinavian rug exemplifies an important mid-century aesthetic development.
