1920’s Antique Swedish Flat Weave Killim Rug-9'6'' X 6'7''
Located in Los Angeles, US
Antique rugs that are called “Kilim rugs”, primarily refer to a type of flat weave rug that was produced without knotted pile. Because these antique rugs are found across the globe, each region has a different pronunciation and spelling of the name Kilim. Homers Iliad and Egyptian tomb paintings, from the same time period, depict weavers producing rugs and carpets of this kind.

Scandinavian Rug Rollakan Flat-Weave Cushion
Located in Ferrara, IT
This Scandinavian Rug flat-weave is a captivating example of Scandinavian folk art, reflecting the rich tradition of weaving that has been passed down through generations in Sweden. The piece is particularly notable for its vibrant colors, intricate patterns, and the historical significance that comes with its age. This piece features a striking combination of horizontal stripes and a central geometric pattern, typical of Swedish weaving styles. The upper section consists of warm golden stripes interspersed with bands of intricate smaller geometric motifs, likely woven with traditional dyes that have retained their rich, warm hues over the decades. The lower portion of this flat-weave cushion showcases a bold, colorful design featuring stylized birds or abstract shapes set within a grid of interlocking geometric forms. The dominant colors in this section are bright red, yellow, green, and blue, which are arranged in a symmetrical, repeating pattern that draws the eye and showcases the weaver's skill in creating balance and harmony within a complex design. This piece is handwoven, a labor-intensive process that would have required significant skill and time. The craftsmanship is evident in the tightness of the weave and the clarity of the patterns, indicating that it was made by an experienced artisan. The use of wool suggests it was created to be durable and warm, which was essential in the colder climates of Scandinavia. Given its age, the rug appears to be in good condition. The colors, although possibly mellowed with time, remain vibrant and full of life, and the structural integrity of the fabric seems largely intact. There might be some minor signs of wear, such as fraying at the edges or slight fading, but these are typical for a cushion of this age and only add to its character and authenticity. Swedish textiles from the 19th century often feature designs that were deeply rooted in local traditions, with patterns that were symbolic or had specific meanings within the community. The bright colors and bold patterns of this piece reflect the lively, celebratory nature of many Swedish folk textiles...
