On the Design:

Connoisseurs will appreciate this striking rug as a sublime example of the Swedish Rya tradition, utilizing a bold, monochromatic approach to create a structural visual experience. This hand-knotted, luxurious shag piece delivers exceptional textural depth, with a dense pile that emphasizes the play of light across its surface.

The pattern is a masterful study in Geometry, featuring a large-scale, deconstructed grid or plaid motif. The color story is intense and monochromatic, utilizing varying saturations of crimson, garnet, and deep wine red to define its broad, overlapping bands. This interaction of tonal blocks and vertical stripes creates a sophisticated visual depth, with the high-low texture of the shag making the fiery red hues appear mottled and three-dimensional.

This rug is a highly dimensional work of textile art, perfectly suited for an interior craving both authentic vintage texture and a passionate, focused aesthetic.

Condition:

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