Vintage Swedish Kilim Rug By Rakel Callander
About the Item
Scandinavia is known for their rya and Rollakan rugs. Named after a town in southwest Sweden, rya Swedish rugs date back to the 16th century. At first the rugs were made in solid colors, featuring black, gray, white and yellow but as time passed geometric shapes and floral designs were introduced. Used by nobility as bedding and a display of social standing, rya Swedish rugs were often displayed as tapestries and exhibited as family heirlooms. Rollakan rugs are distinctive Scandinavian folk weavings that are flat woven tapestry rugs.
Rakel Callander – RC The Scandinavian carpet weaver and designer Rakel (Rachel) Callander (circa 20th century) is responsible for creating some of the most recognizable and memorable flatwoven rölakan designs. Unfortunately, the background and origin of this Scandinavian designer remains obscure. Carpets produced by Rakel Callander are signed RC and typically include compartmentalized patterns decorated with inset polygons and geometric motifs. Like many Scandinavian carpets, works by Rakel Callander feature classic colors with subdued saturation, stark patterns, strong lines and charming details like braided fringes. Rakel Callander has also created carpets based on variations of her own designs.
