On the Design:

Connoisseurs will appreciate this exceptional rug as a powerful, dynamic statement from the Swedish Rya tradition, utilizing the bold patterns and optical effects of the Op Art movement. This hand-knotted, luxurious shag piece delivers incredible visual velocity and tactile depth.

The pattern is a compelling study in Radiating Abstract Geometry and high contrast, featuring an explosive central motif that draws the eye inward, creating a perceived sense of motion or depth.

The color story is predominantly cool and cosmic: the field is a textural spectrum of Sky Blue and Cerulean, transitioning into a deep, central vortex of Indigo/Black.

The explosive rays are detailed with bright white, vibrant Purple/Magenta, and striking accents of Ruby Red, giving the abstract form the appearance of a supernova or bursting firework.

This rug is a highly dimensional work of textile art, perfectly suited for a space needing both authentic vintage texture and a dramatic, focal-point design. It brings unparalleled energy and a commanding, psychedelic presence to any Modernist, Eclectic, or Mid-Century setting.

Condition:

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