Beautiful Flat Weave Vintage Berit Koenig Swedish Kilim, Country Of Origin: Scandinavia, Circa Date: Vintage / Mid 20th Century – This traditional vintage Scandinavian Rolakan / rug created circa 1950 and signed by rug weaver and textile designer Berit Koenig features a series of charming panels with saw-tooth edges that form rows of harlequin lozenges. Alternating color segments vary across each pillar with staggered stripes rendered in varying hues of ivory, beige, yellow and brown. These subtle variegated details add interest and texture to the minimalist geometric design. The simple, high-contrast color scheme highlights the boundaries between the interlocking segments creating a strong counter change pattern between the piercing saw tooth edges and harlequin lozenges, which are defined by the muted purple details and negative space. Rendered in a style unique to Scandinavia, this charming Rolakan features a high impact pattern with precise details and simple colors enhanced with variegated accents, yellow highlights and golden browns.
