This vintage Scandinavian rya rug features a charming folk-art aesthetic, with a central floral motif framed by a bold geometric border. The heart of the design showcases stylised tulips in warm tones of orange, red, and yellow set against a soft cream background, evoking the traditional Nordic love for nature and symmetrical patterns. Surrounding the central panel, olive green and earthy mustard fields are adorned with chevron and diamond shapes in muted browns and blacks, adding rhythm and balance. The wool pile is rich and plush, offering tactile warmth, while the bottom fringe adds a playful, homespun finish. This rug is a delightful example of Scandinavian textile craft, both decorative and deeply rooted in regional tradition.
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.
