Vintage Swedish Rug by Ida Rydelius 47002

Swedish Rug, Scandinavia, Mid-20th Century – This classical vintage flat-weave carpet from Sweden epitomizes the mid-century style with its grand border-focused design and impeccable right-angle geometry. Cool, clear blues, complementary accents and casual striped details enhance the decorative woven textures and give this striking rollaken a distinctly Nordic appearance. Like other Scandinavian master weavers and design mavens, Rydelius uses impeccable right-angle geometry and a limited number of modular repeating motifs to create a perfectly homogeneous design with the ideal amount of impact. Softly colored notched tiles decorate the diminutive field, which is enclosed by phenomenal compound-lozenge borders. The broad main borders display a superb collection of complex lozenges with concentric colored compartments that represent a microcosm of the larger motifs. Calming linear borders with striped details complete the composition and provide a decisive conclusion to the robust mid-century design of this magnificent vintage Swedish rug by Ida Rydelius.
