Made with handwoven wool circa 1950-1960, this 7x9 vintage Scandinavian Kilim rug is an exciting new addition to Rug & Kilim’s curation of rare mid-century Swedish flatweaves. On the Design: This kilim features distinct sections featuring stylized bird or animal motifs arranged on a beige field. The repeating cross-like formations and placement of motifs are exemplary of Swedish folk art, though admirers of the craft will further note this as an unusual find in its design choices. The earth-toned palette and geometric patterns reflect the design principles of Anatolian textile traditions. This is a bold, graphic, personal vintage work; a piece of weaving history most likely from a special workshop with a deep reverence for the charm of tribal kilims—this being one of the most unique we’ve seen among mid-20th-century Scandinavian rugs. Condition: This mid-century Scandinavian kilim rug further enjoys good condition for its origin and age.
