About the Item

Hand-knotted in high-pile wool in Sweden circa 1960-1970, this 5x7 vintage Swedish Rya rug is a new addition to Rug Kilim’s curation of iconic, collectible mid-century Scandinavian runner rugs of this provenance. On the Design: Connoisseurs will appreciate this exceptional rug as a whimsical and profound statement from the Swedish Rya tradition, embracing expressive abstraction and complex color mixing from the Mid-Century Modern era. This hand-knotted, luxurious shag piece delivers commanding visual depth and personality. The pattern is a masterful study in Abstract Figuration, strongly resembling a stylized Owl. The central form features a beautiful, painterly rainbow gradient blending vivid purples, deep blues, and lime green into yellow/gold. The figure is defined by two striking green circular "eyes" and bold black lines that create a skeletal, radiating effect, pulling the design outward toward the Natural Beige/Cream field. This rug is a highly dimensional work of textile art, perfectly suited for a space needing authentic vintage texture and a whimsical, unforgettable focal point. It brings an unparalleled sense of artistic curiosity and bold, Mid-Century character to any Eclectic, Bohemian, or Modernist setting. Condition: This vintage Swedish rug further enjoys good condition for its age and origin.
