On the Design:

Connoisseurs will appreciate this striking rug as a sublime example of the Swedish Rya tradition, utilizing a focused, rhythmic composition within a cool, aquatic palette. This hand-knotted piece delivers exceptional textural depth, with a dense pile that enhances its organic, shifting appearance.

The pattern is a masterful study in geometric abstraction, featuring nested, concentric rings that suggest the rippling effect of water or the natural layers of an agate stone. The color story is a serene exploration of blues, dominated by a deep sapphire field that transitions into rings of teal, sky blue, and soft mint.

A central, shield-like form is anchored by dark charcoal outlines, providing a grounding focal point that draws the eye inward.

This rug is a highly dimensional work of textile art, perfectly suited for an interior needing authentic vintage texture and a calm, artistic presence.

Condition:

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