$9,000
This circa-1930 vintage Swedish flat weave rug is comprised of an all-over design of geometric abstractions in shades of blue, yellow and brown against a neutral gray field. A thin blue main border completes the modernist look of the vintage antique carpet. In Sweden, Scandinavian rugs for sale and vintage carpets 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 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.
