On the Design:

Connoisseurs will appreciate this dramatic rug as a brilliant synthesis of the Swedish Rya tradition, utilizing saturated color and precise geometry to create a commanding medallion structure. This hand-knotted, luxurious shag piece delivers intense visual depth and tactile richness.

The pattern is a masterful study in Symmetrical Medallion Geometry, featuring a powerful Starburst or sunburst design radiating from the center.

The color story is bold and maximalist: a vibrant field of Magenta/Deep Berry Red is framed by a rich, dark border of Plum. Adding surprising detail, the central panel is encircled by a delicate chain of stylized sage green squares, providing a crisp, cooling contrast to the fiery reds.

This rug is a highly dimensional work of textile art, where the deep pile enhances the graphic, radiating forms. It is perfectly suited for a space needing authentic vintage texture and a statement-making focal point, bringing unparalleled energy and complexity to any Maximalist, Bohemian, or Mid-Century setting.
