On the Design:

Connoisseurs will appreciate this exceptional rug as a superb example of the Swedish Rya tradition, utilizing the expressive texture of the shag pile to create a dynamic, painterly effect. This hand-knotted, luxurious wool piece delivers comforting depth and a warm, inviting aesthetic.

The pattern is a compelling study in Abstract Texture and Color-Gradation, dominated by a large, central cruciform shape. The composition is highly impressionistic, where the deep pile causes the colors to seemingly bleed and dissipate into the background.


The color palette is wonderfully monochromatic and warm: a blend of rich, burnt Umber browns and radiant Mustard Yellows/Golds explodes from the center against a calming, expansive field of Natural Beige/Cream.

This rug is a highly dimensional work of textile art, perfectly suited for a space needing both authentic vintage texture and a warm, grounding focal point. It brings an unparalleled sense of natural warmth and minimalist sophistication to any Modernist, Bohemian, or Transitional setting.

Condition:

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