This extraordinary vintage Scandinavian modernist kilim rug is a striking handwoven piece that perfectly balances bold design with minimalist sophistication. The rug features a rhythmic arrangement of geometric motifs, including stepped diamonds, angular arrows, and stylised abstract forms, woven in a palette of deep indigo blue, terracotta orange, ivory, and touches of crimson. The mirrored symmetry running through the composition creates a sense of order and movement, hallmarks of Scandinavian modernist aesthetics.

Handwoven in pure wool using the flatweave technique, the rug is both lightweight and durable, with crisp lines and vibrant natural dyes that enhance its timeless appeal. Its strong design and bold colours make it not only a functional floor covering but also a statement piece of textile art. This kilim beautifully embodies the modernist Scandinavian approach, characterised by simplicity, geometry, and purposefulness, while still conveying warmth and character.

Authentic vintage and antique Scandinavian kilims are handwoven with wool. Each one is an exceptional work of art and one of a kind.

Pictures are taken in natural light to portray the most realistic colours possible. Due to the handmade and preloved nature of these rugs, slight imperfections and flaws are not considered defects.

Our kilim rugs are professionally restored, and the fringes secured, ensuring many more years of life. 

Our kilims are professionally cleaned.

It’s 1990 all over again!

In the early 1990’s, my wife I were obsessed with hand woven, vegetable dyed Turkish carpets from Azeri/Woven Legends. We spent so much time at ABC Carpet & Home in NYC, we became good friends with the head rug buyer!! We haven’t purchased a rug in years, but I found a wonderful Woven Legends carpet at Shopvintagerugs and bought myself an early birthday present. The rug was shipped from Pakistan on Monday, made its way to Dubai, then Boston, Memphis and finally arrived to us today. I couldn’t be happier!
