About the Item

Hand-knotted in high-pile wool in Sweden circa 1960-1970, this 5x7 vintage Swedish Rya rug in is a bold 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 sophisticated example of the Swedish Rya tradition, embracing the minimalist abstraction and textural focus of the Mid-Century Modern era. This hand-knotted, luxurious shag piece delivers incredible depth and subtle visual movement. The pattern is a compelling study in Concentric Abstract Forms, dominated by thick, organically drawn bands that spiral toward a dark center. The entire composition is rendered in a highly sophisticated Monochromatic palette, using a spectrum of Ivory, Taupe, Slate Gray, and Deep Charcoal/Black. The varying pile heights and wool shading intensify this effect, giving the bands a painterly quality where they dissolve and reappear, creating an almost hypnotic, vortex-like illusion. This rug is a highly dimensional work of textile art, perfectly suited for a space needing authentic vintage texture and a refined, grounding statement. It brings an unparalleled sense of sculptural form and quiet confidence to any Modernist, Minimalist, or Transitional setting. Condition: This vintage Swedish rug further enjoys good condition for its age and origin.
