Artistic Vintage Swedish Shaggy Wool Pile Rya Area Rug, Scandinavia, Mid 20th Century – This exquisitely colored vintage Rya depicts an abstract fire-filled teardrop surrounded by a plethora of cool colors and saturated gem tones that capture an unparalleled breadth and depth of color. The naturally textural surface is enhanced by mottled patterns and scrivened textures that augment the brilliant color scheme. The sweeping curves and radiant teardrop capture gradient layers of color ranging from fiery reds to cool violet purples and marine blues. The nuanced background colors are enhanced by muted hues of forest green and subtle color variations that add a tremendous level of texture to the seemingly simple composition. Subtle flecks of color make incursions into neighboring sections adding to the fabulous gradation that emanates from the fiery core.
