Vintage Swedish Scandinavian Folklore Röllakan Rug, 06'08 x 09'00

About the Item

78110 Vintage Swedish Scandinavian Rollakan Kilim Rug, 06'08 x 09'00. This vintage Swedish rollakan rug, influenced by the legendary weaver Marta Maas-Fjetterstrom, is a celebration of Scandinavian folk art and natural beauty. Handwoven from wool, this Scandinavian rollakan rug features a rich, earthy palette with terracotta and brown tones, harmonized by soft beige, blue and green accents that evoke the organic hues of Sweden’s landscapes. The central field is a gentle, warm terracotta shade, exuding warmth and grounding the design, while the border incorporates geometric and figurative motifs that tell a story of Swedish heritage and craftsmanship. Prominent among the motifs are stylized bird figures, known as "fåglar" in Swedish, which perch gracefully along the borders. Birds in Swedish folklore are often symbols of freedom, peace, and connection to nature, representing the harmonious balance between humans and the natural world. Here, the birds add a lively yet serene quality, as if frozen mid-song, echoing the peacefulness of the Scandinavian countryside. Their presence adds a layer of symbolism, as birds are seen as messengers and carriers of good fortune in Swedish tradition, embodying the spirit of serenity and freedom. In addition to birds, the rug also features whimsical animal motifs that resemble woodland creatures, possibly inspired by deer or elks, known as "hjortar" in Swedish. These creatures, often revered in Scandinavian lore, symbolize strength, grace, and resilience. By incorporating these animals into the design, the weaver pays homage to the Scandinavian wilderness, a recurring theme in Måås-Fjetterström’s work. The hjortar motifs are woven in complementary hues that blend naturally with the earthy tones of the rug, creating a harmonious landscape that celebrates Sweden's deep-rooted respect for wildlife. The overall design is structured yet fluid, with carefully balanced color fields and corner elements that create a visual rhythm. Each motif is meticulously woven to blend artistry with symbolism, making this rollakan rug not just a decorative piece, but a woven tapestry of cultural and natural symbolism. Perfect for both traditional and modern interiors, this rug offers a sense of warmth, grounding any space with its earthy tones and timeless patterns. Its presence is like a quiet song of the forest, imbuing your home with Scandinavian charm, history, and a hint of mystical folklore. Rendered in variegated shades of terra cotta, rust, brick red, brown, tan, light gray, light yellow, green, and blue with other accent colors. Abrash. Hand-woven Wool. Made in Sweden. Measures: 06'08 x 09'00. Date: 1970's. Late 20th Century.
