Vintage Handmade Rug BB6312 5'7" × 7'9" $15,000

A great example of Swedish design, this carpet draws inspiration from the rich culture and folklore of that country. Carefully hand-knotted form best woolen fibers available, the rug sports a traditional pattern, consisting mainly of symmetrical figures. Simplistic forms of geometric shapes perfectly balance each other out, resulting in a harmonious composition. The weaver decided to choose a rather calm palette, dominated by darker hues, such as navy blue and brown. Topping it with beige and light yellow was a perfect choice which highlighted the symmetry of the design and gave the colorings more depth. The carpet’s flat weave allows it to be used on both sides, reflecting Swedish adoration of practicality. A rug like this is not a mere decoration – it can become almost like a family member, which will serve you loyally for the years to come. That’s the beauty of vintage Swedish carpets.
