On the Design:

Connoisseurs will appreciate this piece as a sublime example of the Swedish Rya tradition, utilizing a complex, interlocking composition within a rich forest palette. This hand-knotted shag rug offers exceptional textural depth, with a dense pile that softens the architectural lines of its design.

The pattern is a masterful study in Geometry, featuring a "tectonic" arrangement of shifted squares and triangles that evoke a Cubist interpretation of a woodland landscape. The color story is a sophisticated blend of earthy tones, dominated by moss green, golden ochre, and sun-drenched yellow, anchored by deep brown accents.

The interaction of these multi-tonal blocks creates a powerful visual depth, making the design appear to undulate and shift as the high-pile wool catches the light.

This rug is a highly dimensional work of textile art, perfectly suited for an interior needing both authentic vintage texture and a grounded, mid-century aesthetic.

Condition:

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