Quite The Beautifully Artistic Vintage Ege Swedish Art Rug Based On An Arne L. Hansen Painting, Circa / Rug Date: 1950. EGE Carpet. Vintage Scandinavian Carpet By EGE Denmark, ( after the oil painting by Arne L Hansen ). This signed vintage rug from Sweden is beautifully composed and features a chic layered composition that is divided into striated compartments. Soft colors and careful proportions balance the artfully crafted visage while creating a solid background of stormy blue-grays and creamy ivory accents. Definitively modern and like a canvas waiting to be decorated, the soft monochromatic segments create a luxurious background that is filled with a growing variety of colorful accents and fluid will-o’-the-wisp motifs that meander across the composition and contribute an airy, veiled texture to this two-dimensional work of art. Shadows, wispy clouds and light-filled layers create a nuanced composition that is ambiguous in an artful manner and begs viewers to develop their own creative interpretation.
