On the Design:

Connoisseurs will appreciate this striking rug as a profound example of the Swedish Rya tradition, utilizing complex geometry and a warm, saturated color scheme characteristic of the Mid-Century Modern era. This hand-knotted, luxurious shag piece delivers incredible textural depth and visual complexity.

The pattern is a masterful study in Layered Geometry, featuring a deep, contrasting frame of bold vertical stripes that surround a central field of fine, intricate checks.

The color story is richly autumnal: dominated by a beautiful blend of Burnt Orange, Rust, Deep Umber Brown, and Forest Green.

The contrast between the thick, columnar stripes of the border and the small-scale checkerboard of the center creates a mesmerizing, dimensional play on perspective, enhanced by the mottled shading of the deep wool pile.

This rug is a highly dimensional work of textile art, perfectly suited for a space needing authentic vintage texture and a warm, grounding focal point.

It brings an unparalleled sense of geometric sophistication and comforting, earthy warmth to any Modernist, Transitional, or Rustic setting.
