Large Swedish flat weave Rölakan kilim carpet, 1970s

About the Item

Swedish rollakan rugs, also known as "rolakan" rugs, are traditional handwoven wool creations from Sweden, cherished for their intricate designs, exceptional quality, and versatile functionality. Crafted primarily from wool using a flat weave technique, these rugs often showcase geometric patterns and traditional Scandinavian motifs in a palette of natural earth tones and vibrant colors. With a rich history dating back to the 18th century, they were traditionally woven as essential household items and often passed down through generations. Today, they continue to be highly sought after in contemporary interior design for their aesthetic charm and superb craftsmanship. Rendered in variegated shades of brown, beige, orange and purple. The measurement include the fringes. Excellent vintage condition.
