On the Design:

Connoisseurs will appreciate this elegant rug as a refined example of the Swedish Rya tradition, utilizing the classic diamond motif with a restrained, sophisticated palette characteristic of earlier Mid-Century Modern design. This hand-knotted, luxurious shag piece delivers comforting texture and timeless appeal.

The pattern is a precise study in Geometric Abstraction, featuring an all-over, repeating Diamond Lattice.

The color story is calming and chic, using soft, monochromatic earth tones: alternating diamonds of plush Natural Beige/Cream and muted Dusty Sage Green/Ochre. The central panel is framed by a series of precise borders, including a cooling inner band of Pale Blue/Gray and an outer border of rich Olive Green with small, contrasting square motifs.

This rug is a highly dimensional work of textile art, perfectly suited for a space needing authentic vintage texture and a quiet, grounding sophistication. It brings an unparalleled sense of Scandinavian refinement and comforting warmth to any Transitional, Minimalist, or Modernist setting.
