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 tones of black, grey, ivory and golden yellow that evoke a gorgeous shabby-chic retro vibe. The structured grid-like composition of repeated geometric forms gives it a distinctly modernist edge, setting it apart within the rya tradition. 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.

Condition:
