Product description

Floral motifs dominate throughout in this vintage Scandinavian Kilim style rug. Rich reds, soft blues, and a subtle cream and grey backdrop instill the viewer with a sense of soft and relaxing garden environments. Flowery stalks erupt outwards from the center, framing a grey heathered field with a multicolored cross pattern playing across its expanse. Blooming petals form the outer border of this rug, and the bright colors lead the eye up and down the complex display of natural beauty that is framed by two yellow bands at opposite ends of the rug. The lively colors blend well with the more subtle tones and shades to create a visually interesting piece that pays loving homage to serene garden environments.

With a cheerful palette and charming floral motif, this rug will brighten up your summer days! Woven in the mid 20th century, this beautiful kilim contains both modern Scandinavian design motifs as well as a nod to traditional Swedish folk art: The geometric patterning in the rug is purely modern, but the sweet abstracted flowers harken back to Swedish cottage crafts of yore.

Swedish Rugs and carpets have a long history in Scandinavian weaving which reaches right into the Modern period. An established form of Swedish folk weaving, “Rollakans” were used as coverlets or flat woven tapestry rugs. Swedish rugs and carpets are the product of ancient weaving traditions transported from countries in the Asian Steppe on epic journeys through harsh Arctic conditions.

By the 20th century, Swedish rugs were international art objects that were partly the product of government funding. Swedish master weavers and textile artists continued to grow their trendsetting style with shaggy carpets, bold works of art and colorful rugs that epitomize modern, mid-century designs.

This rug in particular is a wonderful combination of floral and geometric motifs. It would blend seamlessly into a modern interior, and add a bit of eclectic charm to more traditional homes. This rug is a wonderful pop of color that will brighten up your space.
