This Vintage Scandinavian Rya Rug features a bold and striking floral design set against a rich turquoise blue background. The central motif consists of a large, soft yellow-orange flower with detailed petals, surrounded by smaller flowers and buds in matching warm tones with hints of cream and pale green. The design is intricately woven with a plush, high-pile texture typical of rya rugs, giving it a luxurious and tactile quality.

The deep blue backdrop contrasts beautifully with the warm floral tones, making the flowers appear vibrant and prominent. The edges of the rug are neatly finished, highlighting the careful craftsmanship. This rya rug exemplifies traditional Scandinavian textile artistry, combining vivid colors, natural motifs, and cozy texture, perfect for adding a vibrant yet classic accent to any room.

The vintage carpet was masterfully hand-crafted with the finest wool following traditional and refined weaving techniques, reaching 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 settled in the aesthetic standards of the 50s.

Pictures are taken in natural light to portray the most realistic colours possible. Due to these rugs' handmade and preloved nature, slight imperfections and flaws are not defects.

Our rugs are professionally restored, and the fringes secured, ensuring many more years of life. In addition, we advise using a rug pad with a grip back to keep your rug in position and to smooth out any wrinkles from shipping. Using a rug pad will also safeguard your carpet from deterioration and, therefore, extend the life of your rug.

Our rugs are professionally cleaned.

It’s 1990 all over again!

In the early 1990’s, my wife I were obsessed with hand woven, vegetable dyed Turkish carpets from Azeri/Woven Legends. We spent so much time at ABC Carpet & Home in NYC, we became good friends with the head rug buyer!! We haven’t purchased a rug in years, but I found a wonderful Woven Legends carpet at Shopvintagerugs and bought myself an early birthday present. The rug was shipped from Pakistan on Monday, made its way to Dubai, then Boston, Memphis and finally arrived to us today. I couldn’t be happier!
