This beautiful, bold vintage Scandinavian Rya rug is a dynamic and visually captivating piece, featuring an explosive geometric medallion design in vivid tones of crimson red, deep brown, ivory, charcoal, and hints of violet and lavender. Handwoven with thick, high-pile wool, the rug radiates a dramatic starburst pattern from the centre, creating an energetic and textured visual experience. A true testament to mid-century Nordic craftsmanship, this Rya rug combines bold artistry with luxurious comfort, making it ideal for modern, bohemian, or retro-inspired interiors.
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 exceptional 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.
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.
