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 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.
