each rug measures 135 cm in length, 195 cm in width, and approximately 1.5 cm in depth, giving them a balanced, highly usable format suitable for both floor placement and wall mounting.

the rugs are woven in pure new wool (“ren ny ull” as stated on the label), which is evident in the dense, high-pile rya structure shown in the close-up image. The pile is long, soft, and irregular in a way that is characteristic of authentic mid-century swedish rya production, creating a lively surface with depth and movement rather than a flat or uniform appearance.

the coloration is a saturated composition of burnt orange, rust, and golden tones. This tonal variation is not printed but achieved through dyed wool, visible in the fiber detail, where multiple shades are blended within the pile. This gives the rugs a dynamic visual effect that shifts depending on light and viewing angle.

the geometric composition is a structured, almost architectural layout with rectangular fields and mirrored symmetry. This is typical for ingalill skoglund’s design language during the 1960s, where traditional rya techniques were translated into more graphic, modern expressions.

the reverse side confirms a tight and well-executed woven backing, indicating quality production from tabergs yllefabriks ab, one of sweden’s established textile manufacturers of the period. The structure is stable and suitable for long-term use.

both rugs are identical in design, size (135 × 195 cm), and execution, and are offered as a matched pair (set of 2).

the condition is excellent. The pile appears full and well-preserved, with no visible thinning or structural damage. There are only minimal signs of use consistent with age, and no restorations are apparent. This piece has an attribution mark,
