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, and this piece’s more minimal, yet bold use of color makes it all the more unique. This piece enjoys geometric patterns in dark red and black tones that evoke a gorgeous, daring take on the shabby-chic retro vibe. Keen eyes for detail will further appreciate the subtle transition of color and geometry in this piece, where gradient and ombre effects can be seen in the red and black tones, lending the otherwise very direct geometric patterns a gorgeous and evocative sense of subtlety and underlying movement for works of this technique. Overall it’s exemplary of Swedish rugs in their impressionistic, country-chic beauty while still lending quite a contemporary presenve—from a tradition among the earliest works of retro, rustic Scandinavian rya rugs in our collection.
