Swedish Rya Mid-Century Gray Hand-Knotted Wool Rug by Ingrid Jagarz BB9243 6'0" × 10'0"

This vintage Swedish rya rug, designed by Ingrid Jagarz for Mark’s rya, was hand-knotted in Scandinavia and belongs to the region’s celebrated long-pile weaving tradition.

Its abstract composition is set against a gray ground, where charcoal, black, white, teal, rust, and orange gather in irregular, brush-like forms. Instead of a repeating pattern, the surface unfolds in layered, shifting fragments that feel painterly and spontaneous. The result is a rug with the visual rhythm of modern art, yet it remains distinctly Scandinavian in its measured palette and restrained sense of balance.

The plush rya pile gives the design real depth, catching the light and softening the angular movement of the composition. Cream fringe at each end adds a subtle finishing note. In a contemporary interior, this vintage wool rug introduces warmth, texture, and mid-century Nordic character to seating areas, bedrooms, or more collected living spaces.

Curated by Doris Leslie Blau, this vintage rug represents the enduring beauty and craftsmanship that have defined the gallery since its establishment in 1965.
