This vintage Scandinavian Rya shag rug is a dynamic mid-century textile, handwoven from pure wool with a lush, high-pile finish. The design bursts with energy, featuring an abstract starburst or flame motif in bold orange, black, and deep rust against a soft beige background. The expressive pattern and plush texture exemplify the iconic 1960s–70s Rya aesthetic, blending Scandinavian craftsmanship with graphic modernism. Ideal as a floor rug or wall hanging, this pure wool piece adds warmth, movement, and retro charm to any interior.
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 have an exceptionally modern design that aligns with the aesthetic standards of the 1950s.
