This vintage Scandinavian Rya wool rug radiates cheerful folk charm with its floral vase motif and high-pile softness. Set against a creamy ivory backdrop, the central design features a stylised blue vase sprouting bold pink blossoms and leafy green stems, arranged in a symmetrical bouquet that evokes traditional Nordic needlework. Surrounding the central panel is a rich cobalt blue border filled with scrolling vines, smaller floral elements, and touches of green and pink that echo the inner pattern. The thick woollen texture lends warmth and comfort, while the colourful palette brings a whimsical yet timeless aesthetic, perfect for cosy reading corners, nursery spaces, or Scandinavian-inspired interiors.
This vintage pile weave dates back to the time of the Scandinavian rugs' greatest glory. These rugs were made over half a century ago, and to this day, they remain unspoilt by time due to their extraordinary quality and design.
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 severe weather conditions.
Despite its historical heritage, the antique bears an exceptionally modern design, adhering to 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.
