This Rölakan kilim was handwoven in Sweden during the middle of the 20th century.
It features a symmetrical layout with soft pastel shades of blue, pink, yellow, and green against an ethereal backdrop. The structured pattern of repeating squares and circles and the totemic green columns create a sense of rhythm and harmony. The background is composed of various marled yarns in ivory, yellow and a grayish green that provide wonderful depth and make the other elements appear to float above it. Small geometric forms adds interest to the top and bottom of the composition. The whole is lovingly framed by a wiggly chocolate-striped border. The initials "CD" can be found in the bottom corner.
In very good condition for its age.. Wefted with wool over a linen warp. Flat pile with a soft and floppy handle.
