This vibrant vintage Scandinavian Rya rug features a bold abstract floral motif in vivid hues of orange, yellow, black, and cream, creating a dynamic visual texture that captures the essence of mid-century Nordic design. Hand-knotted using soft wool, this high-pile Rya rug showcases the traditional Scandinavian shaggy texture that was popular in the 1960s and 1970s. Its radiant colour palette and expressive design make it a standout piece for modern, eclectic, or retro-inspired interiors. Ideal as a wall hanging or a statement floor rug, this Scandinavian Rya rug adds warmth, artistic flair, and authentic vintage charm to any space. This piece is ideal for collectors and interior designers seeking original vintage Scandinavian rugs, retro wool shag rugs, or Nordic modernist decor.
The vintage carpet was masterfully hand-crafted with the finest wool, following traditional and refined weaving techniques, and dates back to the Middle Ages.
Its style, Rya, was developed centuries ago in Scandinavia to protect the people, especially the mariners living off the sea, from severe weather conditions.
Despite its historical heritage, the antique bears have an exceptionally modern design that is settled in the aesthetic standards of the 50s.

Our rugs are professionally restored, and the fringes secured, ensuring many more years of life. Additionally, we recommend using a rug pad with a grippy back to keep your rug in place and to smooth out any wrinkles that may have occurred during shipping. Using a rug pad will also safeguard your carpet from deterioration and, therefore, extend the life of your rug.
