About the Item

Hand-knotted in lush, high-pile wool in Sweden circa 1960-1970, this 6x9 vintage Swedish Rya rug is a bold new addition to Rug Kilim’s curation of iconic, collectible mid-century Scandinavian rugs of this provenance. On the Design: Connoisseurs will appreciate this piece as a vibrant testament to the Swedish Rya revival, perfectly embodying the graphic sophistication of the 1960s–1970s. Renowned for its comforting, high-pile wool, this hand-knotted treasure delivers both tactile luxury and striking visual energy through its dense, shaggy surface. The design is a masterpiece of abstract geometry, featuring an arresting, organic composition that dances across a luminous cream field. Unlike the rigid lattice of traditional weaves, this piece favors a fluid, painterly approach: bold, cloud-like forms in tobacco brown and charcoal black anchor the edges, while a central, mossy-gold medallion adds a sense of weighted symmetry. These dynamic shapes and earthy tones are rendered with a soft, impressionistic blur inherent to the long-pile Rya technique, creating a rhythmic, almost topographical effect. More than just a rug, this piece is a dimensional work of textile architecture—a sophisticated, retro-modern statement that captures the joyful, expressive spirit of Scandinavian design at its peak. Condition: This vintage Swedish rug further enjoys good condition for its age and origin.
