High-quality Vintage Swedish Pile Rug BB5973 5'3" × 6'0" $5,000

This circa-1940 vintage Swedish pile rug features an all-over design of zig-zagging geometric abstractions in shades of muted red against a field of greenish beige. The overall effect is minimalist and modern, making the vintage carpet part of a rich textile weaving tradition. In Sweden, carpets and vintage looking rugs 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 style 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.
