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: 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. This piece, too, enjoys flame abstract patterns in bold tones of red, rust, black, white and navy blue 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 traditional among the earliest works of retro, rustic Scandinavian rya rugs in our collection. Condition: This vintage Swedish runner rug further enjoys good condition for its age and origin.
