Swedish Inspired

The late 18th century was an age of revolutions, not only in politics and government but also in art and design. We can clearly see the seismic cultural shifts in the carpets of the late 18th century. These carpets were woven for the newly built town and country houses of Europe, where fashionable interiors took on new elegant simplicity. A sense of harmony, proportion, and informality seemed to sweep away the decades of Baroque and Rococo formalism and ostentation in favor of the lightness of the early neoclassical.
