What makes vintage Swedish rugs so special is not only their beauty but also the superior quality of their weave. It is no wonder that they are so sought-after by vintage carpet aficionados and interior designers alike. They look great in both ultra-modern interiors and cozy abodes. This particular antique rug, woven circa 1955, immediately draws the eye with its original design and interesting choice of color. The pattern consists of square splashes in the center, kept together by smaller elements of the composition. While it might seem simple, a closer look reveals the sheer beauty and genius behind it. The color palette consists mostly of earthy browns and yellows, highlighted by pastel gray and blue. The composition is anchored in the center, creating a sense of balance and order.
