Vintage Scandinavian Rug, Sweden, Mid 20th Century – Bearing the mark of the accomplished Scandinavian master weaver and designer Ingegerd Silow, this handsome mid-century rug features a strong coffered composition adorned with layers of decorative figures. The beautifully variegated field incorporates a chic assortment of glowing maize yellows that are juxtaposed against verdant chartreuse hues and warm fallow brown details.
These well-defined rectilinear figures feature monochromatic segments with coveted tonal variegation that is uniquely associated with Scandinavia’s famed flat-weave construction techniques. The compartmental theme continues in the primary and secondary borders, which feature decorative lozenge-shaped medallions, cruciform figures and barbed ovoid ornaments with rectilinear appendages. Interlocking crenellated fence borders with contrasting colors add to the striking style of this handsome Scandinavian Kilim.
