Swedish Rug, Scandinavia, Mid 20th Century – This exquisite vintage Swedish rya rug is a modern work of art with graphic pop-art patterns, strong primary colors and the characteristic shaggy rya-style pile, which was all the rage in the mid-20th century. The formal composition of this vintage rug features a bold cocoa brown frame that is carefully blended into the creamy white background. Sweeping brush stroke yin-yang figures set over a pattern of layered stripes create a dramatic focal point that gives this stylish vintage shag rug a daring, abstract style that is totally modern. The strong primary colors and woody cocoa borders have an undeniable mid-century appeal perfect for handsome retro spaces.
