This vintage Scandinavian Rya rug is a bold and expressive wool masterpiece featuring dynamic mid-century modern design. Hand-knotted with thick, high-pile wool, it showcases sweeping, abstract flame-like forms in rich tones of orange, red, cream, yellow, and chocolate brown. The asymmetrical composition and vibrant colour palette reflect the energetic spirit of 1970s Nordic design. Ideal as a statement floor piece or wall hanging, this retro Scandinavian Rya rug adds warmth, texture, and artistic flair to any interior. 

This vintage pile weave dates back to the time of the Scandinavian rug's greatest glory. These rugs were made over half a century ago, and due to their extraordinary quality and design, they remain unspoiled by time.

The vintage carpet was masterfully handcrafted with the finest wool, following traditional and refined weaving techniques that date back to the Middle Ages.

Its style Rya developed centuries ago in Scandinavia to protect the people, especially the mariners living off the sea, from the severe weather conditions.

Despite its historical heritage, the antique bears have an exceptionally modern design that aligns with the aesthetic standards of the 1950s.

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.

Our rugs are professionally cleaned.

It’s 1990 all over again!

In the early 1990’s, my wife I were obsessed with hand woven, vegetable dyed Turkish carpets from Azeri/Woven Legends. We spent so much time at ABC Carpet & Home in NYC, we became good friends with the head rug buyer!! We haven’t purchased a rug in years, but I found a wonderful Woven Legends carpet at Shopvintagerugs and bought myself an early birthday present. The rug was shipped from Pakistan on Monday, made its way to Dubai, then Boston, Memphis and finally arrived to us today. I couldn’t be happier!
