Vintage Mid Century Swedish Kilim 46852

Vintage Scandinavian Mid Century Modern Swedish Rug, Country Of Origin: Sweden, Circa Date: 1950 – This expertly styled vintage Scandinavian rug skillfully melds a traditional composition with unexpectedly whimsical ornaments. Charming trefoil posies and delightful butterflies rendered in a rainbow variety of fruity colors are deliberately distributed across the softly colored field and exuberant borders. Chic oatmeal-tone variegation creates a sumptuous tiger stripe background that cushions a series of widely spaced florets with delicate blue petals. Celadon inner borders adorned with repeating S-hooks incorporate age-old weaving motifs that segue to a series of polychrome butterflies that resemble symbolic ram’s horns. The charming trefoil posies reappear in the blushing rose-red borders, which tie together the colorful borders and the delicate motifs that appear in the elegantly appointed field. This signed kilim has a bubbly, exuberant presence that is amplified by the whimsical decorations and candy-tone color palette.
