This beautiful vintage Scandinavian wool Rya rug features a soft, uplifting palette of pale yellow, ivory, and icy blue, arranged in a delicate vertical pattern reminiscent of stylised trees or floral stems. Handwoven in wool, the rug exemplifies Nordic minimalism with a touch of whimsy, blending geometric precision with organic rhythm. The pile is lush yet controlled, offering both texture and warmth, while the subtle gradations in tone lend the piece a serene, almost luminous quality. Perfect for adding a fresh, light-filled accent to a modern or bohemian interior, this Rya rug embodies the timeless elegance and craftsmanship of mid-century Scandinavian design.
This vintage pile weave dates back to the time of the Scandinavian rugs' greatest glory. These rugs were made over half a century ago, and to this day, they remain unspoilt by time due to their extraordinary quality and design.
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, was 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 an exceptionally modern design, adhering to 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.
