About the Item

Hand-knotted in lush, high-pile wool in Sweden circa 1960-1970, this 4x6 vintage Swedish rya rug is a bold new addition to Rug Kilim’s curation of iconic, one-of-a-kind mid-century Scandinavian rugs of this provenance. On the Design: Admirers of the craft will appreciate this piece as one of the most beautiful vintage rugs we’ve curated from this style, with an equally gorgeous and unique design for this craft. Rya rugs are renowned for their colorful, expressive abstract designs and their thick high pile, though this piece has one of the more reserved, yet gorgeously rich palettes among its kind, reminiscent of Barbro Nilsson designs in its particular sensibility. This piece enjoys a geometric medallion in bold earthy tones of red, rust, brown and gold that evoke a gorgeous shabby-chic retro vibe. The design is vivid and complex for works of this technique, though still exemplary of Swedish rugs in their impressionistic, country-chic beauty—from a tradition among the earliest works of retro, rustic Scandinavian rya rugs in our collection. Condition: This vintage Swedish rug further enjoys good condition for its age and origin.
