This charming vintage Swedish wool kilim is a fine example of Scandinavian flatweave craftsmanship, combining folkloric motifs with a harmonious, earthy palette. The central field, rendered in rich chocolate brown, features pairs of stylised human or animal figures in soft tones of mint green, ochre, and cream, arranged symmetrically around a geometric drum or hourglass form, perhaps symbolising festivity or rhythm. Flanked by salmon-toned borders with stepped lozenges and checker motifs in muted teal and mustard, the composition exudes mid-century Nordic modernism. Decorative bands at the top and bottom showcase traditional zigzag and diamond patterns in pastel hues, suggesting woven interpretations of waves or mountain forms. Both functional and decorative, this kilim reflects the Swedish appreciation for balanced design, artisanal technique, and the storytelling nature of woven textiles.
