On the Design:

Connoisseurs will appreciate this electrifying rug as a powerful example of the Swedish Rya tradition, utilizing the bold geometry and high contrast of the Mid-Century Modern era. This hand-knotted, luxurious shag piece delivers intense visual dynamism and tactile depth.

The pattern is a masterful study in Radiating Abstract Geometry, anchored by a central point from which jagged triangles burst outward.

The strong black field acts as a powerful negative space, intensifying the saturated color palette: vivid shades of Crimson Red, Rose Pink, Deep Wine, Sunny Yellow, and Lavender Purple converge and diverge, creating a dizzying, dimensional effect reminiscent of shattered glass or a revolving kaleidoscope.

This rug is a highly dimensional work of textile art, perfectly suited for a space needing both authentic vintage texture and a dramatic, statement-making focal point.

Condition:

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