Rya Rug, Scandinavia, Mid 20th Century – Bold geometric patterns and fence-like pickets create an abstract medallion surrounded by shaded background details that provide a level of transparency between the citrine field and darker mustard-yellow hues that color the perimeter. This abstract vintage Scandinavian Rya showcases a bold medallion decorated with geometric runes, bold roundels, strong vertical pillars, prominent laterals and geometric appendages. The abstract figures feature a lovely combination of monochromatic browns juxtaposed against speckled details. Voided roundels and oblong windows utilize the negative space created by the bold walnut brown motifs, which are superimposed over the plush citrine background. This artful vintage Rya epitomizes the abstract designs and warm earthy colors popularized during the mid-20th century and op-art design movements.
