This charming vintage Scandinavian Rya rug features a whimsical underwater scene with seahorses, seaweed, shells, and a starfish, brought to life in rich shades of blue, aqua, orange, and ivory. Hand-knotted using high-quality wool, the plush, shaggy texture typical of Rya rugs adds both warmth and visual depth to the marine-inspired design. A delightful example of mid-century Scandinavian textile art, this rug captures the playful and imaginative spirit of the era. Ideal as a wall hanging or accent rug, it brings a splash of coastal charm and Nordic craftsmanship into any space. This piece is perfect for those seeking vintage Scandinavian Rya rugs, mid-century modern wool shag rugs, or unique ocean-themed decor for their interior styling.
The vintage carpet was masterfully hand-crafted with the finest wool, following traditional and refined weaving techniques, and dates 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 severe weather conditions.
Despite its historical heritage, the antique bears have an exceptionally modern design that is set in the aesthetic standards of the 50s.
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.
