This charming vintage Scandinavian Rya wool rug is a delicate blend of Nordic craftsmanship and floral romanticism. At its centre lies a soft rose-hued field, surrounded by a rich chocolate brown border filled with blooming stylised flowers in shades of pale yellow, blush pink, ivory, and baby blue. The plush, high-pile wool gives the rug its signature Rya texture, providing both warmth and a luxurious tactile experience. The pastel floral motifs evoke a traditional garden aesthetic, balanced by a scalloped outer edge in cool blue and brown tones that add structure and charm. Ideal as a decorative floor accent or a wall-hung textile, this piece captures the heart of Scandinavian folk art with timeless appeal.

This charming vintage Scandinavian Rya rug features a classic floral medallion design with a soft, high-pile wool texture that embodies Nordic craftsmanship and mid-century comfort. The warm palette featuring muted pink, earthy brown, sage green, ivory, and rose accents creates a cosy, romantic atmosphere ideal for rustic, cottage-style, or eclectic interiors. The symmetrical pattern and detailed floral border reflect traditional Scandinavian folk influences with a timeless aesthetic.

Hand-knotted from wool, this Rya rug is perfect for use as a floor rug or as a wall hanging, offering warmth, character, and a touch of vintage elegance.

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 have remained unspoiled over 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, 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 have an exceptionally modern design that aligns with the aesthetic standards of the 1950s.

Pictures are taken in natural light to portray the most realistic colours possible. Due to the handmade and preloved nature of these rugs, slight imperfections and flaws are not considered defects.

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.
