On the Design:

Connoisseurs will appreciate this piece as one of the most beautiful vintage rugs we’ve curated from this style, with an equally gorgeous and unique design for this craft.

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.

This piece enjoys geometric patterns in tones of brown, beige, red, green and ivory that evoke a gorgeous shabby-chic retro vibe.

The design is vivid and complex for works of this technique, though still exemplary of Swedish flatweaves in their impressionistic, country-chic beauty—from a tradition among the earliest works of rustic Scandinavian rugs in our collection.

Condition:

This vintage Swedish flatweave further enjoys good condition for its age and origin. See less
