Mid-20th century Swedish Geometric Brown, Gray, Green Flat-Weave Wool Rug
-
Description
This circa-1940 vintage Swedish flat weave rug features an all-over design of off-white geometric shapes in earthy tones of brown, gray and green, accented in sharp red. Minimalist and modern, the vintage carpet is part of the unique Scandinavian rug weaving tradition. In Sweden, antique carpets and have been hand-knotted in wool for centuries, taking on many different forms and functions over the course of time. By the beginning of the twentieth century, the craft was seen as being an important artistic and cultural practice throughout Sweden, and designers began to make Scandinavian wool rugs that had a broad international appeal. Scandinavian rugs from the mid-twentieth century, endorsed by such fixtures of modernism as Le Corbusier, Ray Eames and Frank Lloyd Wright, remain among the most desirable and sought after in the rug world.
