Soft Grey Blue Vintage Swedish Kilim, Country of Origin: Scandinavia, Circa date: Mid-Twentieth Century – Here is a delightful vintage carpet – a mid-twentieth century Swedish kilim that was woven in Scandinavia during the middle years of the twentieth century. Characterized by a field and border dichotomy that is reminiscent of classical antique Oriental rug design, this simple Swedish kilim is beautifully expressive of some of the more important aesthetic developments of mid-century Scandinavian rug making. Sporting a charming pallet of ivory and ocean colors, this carpet consists simply of an ivory border with a repeating pattern, and lightly horizontally striped field of blue. The simple decoration and traditional format of this carpet speak to the harmonious coming together of aesthetic ideals that characterized the finest mid-century Swedish rugs. While the carpet itself appears superficially simple, it is in fact a rich composition beautifully suited to a wide range of different interior spaces. The rectangular detail elements that repeat throughout the border infuse the entire carpet with a sense of rhythm and balance, qualities only enhanced by the lack of further ornamentation. An exciting and compelling work, this mid-century Scandinavian kilim is an excellent example of an important rug-weaving style and tradition.
