On the Design:

Connoisseurs will appreciate this piece as one of the most beautiful vintage rugs we’ve curated from this style, with an equally gorgeous and unique design for this craft, among the few Scandinavians borrowing from French and European sensibilities (as a keen eye may note in this rug’s particularly elegant curvature and almost Bessarabian-meets-Aubusson attitude). Rya rugs are renowned for their colorful, expressive abstract designs and their thick high pile. This piece enjoys a beige-cream medallion and floral patterns in tones of red, pink, blue, cream on a black field that evoke a gorgeous shabby-chic retro vibe. The design is vivid and complex for works of this technique, though still exemplary of Swedish rugs in their impressionistic, country-chic beauty—from a traditional among the earliest works of retro, rustic Scandinavian rya rugs in our collection. Keen eyes will appreciate this vintage rug for its whimsical yet graceful and comfortable sensibilities, in the most exceptional color and a great size suited to wider spaces—as versatile for interior design as it is collectible for admirers of this provenance.
