On the Design:

Admirers of the craft 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. Rya rugs are renowned for their colorful, expressive abstract designs and their thick high pile. This piece, too, enjoys abstract patterns in earthy tones of brown, gray, yellow, gold, and beige with striking accents of black that evoke a gorgeous shabby-chic retro vibe. The freeform placement of bold, painterly lines gives the rug a spontaneous energy, emphasizing the modernist abstraction at the heart of its design. 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 tradition among the earliest works of retro, rustic Scandinavian rya rugs in our collection.
