This Swedish rug combines together a timeless design and a great skill. Hand-knotted by a skilled artisan, the vintage carpet features an interesting pattern, inspired by classic Scandinavian motifs. Diamond shapes with a smaller cross in the middle, connected by thin lines, look as if someone put them on the empty surface. The resulting depth of composition makes you feel as if you were looking down at something. The colors are toned-down, with dominating cool brown and teal. Occasional hints of yellow and beige lighten the pattern up. The carpet’s design remains timeless, fitting perfectly into both modern and traditional interiors. Swedish Flatweave Rug by Irma Kronlund The traditional Scandinavian antique rug is the rya, made from hand-knotted wool.
