This vintage Scandinavian clown rag rug is a whimsical and playful wool creation, featuring a colourful abstract depiction of a clown holding balloons, rendered in a bold, folk-art style. Crafted using the traditional rya technique with thick, high-pile wool, it combines vibrant hues of red, orange, pink, green, blue, and yellow in a patchwork-like composition that brings joy and nostalgic charm. Ideal as a statement wall hanging or an eclectic floor accent, this unique piece showcases the Scandinavian love for humour, craft, and texture.
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 its historical heritage, the antique bears an exceptionally modern design settled in the aesthetic standards of the 50s.
