This vintage Swedish Rolakan Kilim was designed by Margareta Lundahl, master weaver in the Mid-20th Century in Scandinavia (see ML signature). This rug dates to around the mid 20th century. Scandinavia is comprised of the three kingdoms Norway, Denmark and Sweden. Scandinavian carpets and rugs have been made in Sweden for centuries, taking on many different forms and functions over the course of time. Rugs woven in the traditional Oriental style were originally brought to Sweden as early as the early Middle Ages through trade routes dating back to the Modern period. In the years that followed, these Swedish rug weavers began incorporating their own themes that were more consistent with cultural heritage of Sweden. Rolakans, a traditional flat-weave, was probably was of the most significant contribution. They were popular among the folk artists and used as bed coverings. These rolakans are highly sought after in today’s marketplace due to their perception as typical Swedish compositions.
