This large vintage Scandinavian woollen Rya rug is a stunning example of mid-century Nordic textile design. Featuring a bold, sunburst-like central medallion, it radiates warmth through a palette of soft creams, golden yellows, rich oranges, and deep browns. The shaggy, high-pile texture gives it a luxurious, tactile quality, perfect for adding visual drama and cosy comfort to a space. The intricate border pattern subtly blends into the background, allowing the vivid central motif to take centre stage. This piece beautifully embodies the Scandinavian tradition of combining artistry, craftsmanship, and function in home decor.
The vintage carpet was masterfully hand-executed with the finest wool, following traditional and refined weaving techniques, and reached the Middle Ages.
Its style, Rya, developed centuries ago in Scandinavia to protect people, especially mariners living off the sea, from severe weather conditions.
Despite their historical heritage, the antique bears have an exceptionally modern design that reflects the aesthetic standards of the 1950s.
