Size: 4.9 x 2.5 ft.

Origin: Scandinavia

Circa: 1960s

Material: Pure Wool 

This vintage Scandinavian Rya rug exudes soft, minimalist elegance with its natural ivory tones and subtly striated texture. Hand-knotted in dense, high-pile wool, it offers a plush, inviting surface that's both decorative and functional. The faint brown undulating lines across the top portion add quiet visual interest, reminiscent of organic forms like wood grain or wind-swept snow. Understated yet intensely tactile, this Rya rug is a timeless piece that brings warmth, simplicity, and Scandinavian cosiness to both modern and rustic interiors.

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 historical heritage, the antique bear an exceptionally modern design settled in aesthetic standards of the 50s.

Pictures are taken in natural light to portray the most realistic colours possible. Due to the hand-knotted and pre-loved nature of these rugs, slight imperfections and flaws are not considered defects.

Our rugs are professionally cleaned.
