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 a particularly unique open field design, almost never seen in this provenance, with minimalist geometric patterns in the borders with tones of blue, gray, brown and white that evoke a gorgeous, cool and coastal take on the shabby-chic retro vibe. The design is exemplary of both the minimalist beauty in this movement as well as this unique class 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
