About the Item
Hand-knotted in lush, high-pile wool in Sweden circa 1960-1970, this 2x4 vintage Swedish Rya runner rug is a bold new addition to Rug
Kilim’s curation of iconic, collectible mid-century Scandinavian rugs of this provenance.
On the Design:
The crowned lion motif—Norway's heraldic symbol since medieval times highlights a textile where Scandinavian designers celebrated regional heritage through folk craft revival. The upper register features the royal crown rendered in golden amber against the orange field—its architectural forms simplified into geometric essence while maintaining recognizable regalia that speaks to centuries of monarchical continuity. Below, the lion rampant—Norway's primary heraldic symbol—appears within a blue shield that provides dramatic chromatic contrast against the surrounding coral expanse. The lion's golden form demonstrates remarkable graphic economy where anatomical details achieve recognition through minimal articulation. The creature's traditional ax or halberd appears as a linear accent, maintaining heraldic accuracy within folk art simplification. For collectors of Scandinavian textiles or those with Norwegian heritage, this represents museum-quality documentation of mid-century cultural pride expressed through folk craft excellence.

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