XXL Carpet Ege Taepper Rya De Luxe, orange wool rug 70

Extra large rug made of 100% wool cotton, iconic of Danish and Scandinavian tapestry art from the 1960s and 70s. Crafted using the high-quality weaving technique of Ege Taepper productions, this Rya rug, categorised as De Luxe upon its release, has managed to stand the test of time without a wrinkle, thus affirming its status as a superior, essential piece for any high-end seventies interior. Whether classified within the modernist, Scandinavian, or pop art movements, it achieves the feat of complex minimalism. Its psychedelic colours burst forth in a perfectly orchestrated whirlwind of gradients and variations of orange and red, at times bold and vibrant, at others diving into a sobriety of burgundy. Some see it as a symbolic expression of the flower power of the era. Others view it as a simple abstraction of rectilinear and concentric forms. One certainty is that the assurance of the straight line intertwines here in an intoxicating waltz with the chaos of these three circles in perpetual motion, and with perfectly distorted curves. Complementary antagonisms of a balanced composition, this rug will immediately catch the eye of your visitors in a nearly hypnotic manner. This rare piece is wonderfully preserved. No stains. No odour. With no notable defects, its exceptional condition should not make you forget that you are purchasing a rug that is around sixty years old. And if, by chance, some signs of the passage of time are noted, they should be considered minor details, simple comforting evidence of its ability to traverse the centuries in magnificent style. A deep cleaning to enhance the material's shine would be a plus, left to the buyer's discretion, who will make this legendary rug their own for decades to come. Dimensions: h280 x w190.
