About the Item
Made with handwoven wool circa 1960-1970, this 5x5 vintage Swedish rug is a bold new addition to Rug
Kilim’s curation of rare and collectible mid-century rugs and textiles of this provenance—a “rollakhan” flatweave in rich colors, versatile size and the most charming depiction of Scandinavian folk art through its bird pictorials.
On the Design:
This design features a central coral red field that provides a luminous background for the pictorial bird and tree motif, rendered with folk art precision that captures both botanical and decorative charm. Admirers of the craft will appreciate how the design pays homage to Swedish folk traditions while achieving remarkable modernity through its vintage quality. The seemingly spontaneous arrangement of symbols—some geometric, others more organic—creates a compelling visual language. Surrounding vine elements with sage green leaves provide organic movement while scattered golden dots suggest additional fruit or floral elements that enhance the pastoral narrative.
Keen eyes will appreciate this vintage rug for its whimsical yet graceful and comfortable sensibilities, in the most exceptional color and a great size suited to wider spaces—as versatile for interior design as it is collectible for admirers of this provenance. For clients who appreciate the intersection of functional craft and decorative art, this represents investment-grade Swedish artistry that complements both traditional and modern Scandinavian furnishings. The grape cluster imagery makes it particularly suited for dining areas or wine cellars where its pastoral symbolism enhances convivial atmospheres.
Condition:
The vintage Swedish rug boasts good condition for its age and lineage, and is ready for the floor. This piece is equally well-suited in its size and construction to wall-hanging projects as a textile, which many of these rollakhans were originally made in equal part for in the Swedish weaving renaissance.
