Antique Rya Wool Blue Hand Knotted Pile Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This exceptional example of this Rya rug weaving presents a powerful modernist statement through its minimalist design and striking use of color. Originating from a period of artistic transition, the rug captures the essence of early 20th-century abstraction, moving away from complex medallion structures toward pure geometric form. The composition is defined by broad, vertical stripes alternating between a deep, saturated indigo and a creamy natural wool tone, creating a dynamic yet balanced an allover pattern. The high contrast and rhythmic repetition of the lines draw the eye across the entire field, while the careful handling of the striking blue color ensures the piece remains sophisticated rather than purely graphic. Hand-knotted from high-quality wool, the texture offers a plush pile characteristic of the finest examples found among our antique rugs. Dating from the 1920s, this textile reflects the era's embrace of bold, abstract aesthetics, making it perfectly suited for both period Art Deco interiors and highly contemporary settings. Its substantial dimensions classify it as an oversized room size rug, making it an ideal anchor piece for a large living area or a contemporary loft space where scale and simplicity are paramount. This rare textile offers a unique blend of folk artistry and early 20th-century design innovation. For every 100 dhurries with horizontal stripes, there is one with vertical bands. Here the equal width abrashed denim blue and off-white run end to end and are self-bordered on the sides. This is an antique all-cotton piece with good condition with genuine antique age. Measures: 8'6" x 13'2".
