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 enjoys interlocking, minimalist geometric patterns in playful tones of red, green, gold, gray, white and black that evoke a gorgeous shabby-chic retro vibe. Keen eyes for detail may further note the texture, which has an almost looped fashion to it, and marks a particularly unique find in the shaggy pieces this provenance celebrates. The complexities of this design are uniquely subtle 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:

This vintage Swedish rug further enjoys good condition for its age and origin. See less
