On the Design:

Connoisseurs will appreciate this exceptional runner for its charming embrace of Swedish Folkloric tradition, expertly executed in the luxurious, hand-knotted Rya technique.

Unlike the abstract designs of the era, this piece offers a warm, pastoral aesthetic ideal for cottage or vintage interiors.

The durable, deep pile wool is rendered in a rich mustard yellow/ochre field, providing a magnificent backdrop for the vertical procession of stylized flowers.

These simple, stylized Rosengång-inspired motifs—rendered in vibrant red, green, and blue—are perfectly repeated, creating a rhythmic and inviting pathway.

The design is framed by a bold, deep red shag border and flanking guard bands featuring simple blue and yellow geometric detailing.

This highly durable, high-pile runner is more than just a floor covering; it is a dimensional work of Scandinavian textile heritage, ready to bring warmth and authentic country-chic character to any hallway or long space.
