This vintage Scandinavian Rya rug is a rare circular masterpiece, hand-knotted in luxurious wool and showcasing a modernist abstract design in earthy tones of cream, taupe, and brown. The shaggy, high-pile texture is characteristic of traditional Rya craftsmanship, offering both warmth and visual drama. Its organic pattern and neutral palette make it an ideal accent for contemporary, mid-century, or bohemian interiors, while the round shape adds a playful yet sophisticated touch to any space. Perfect as a statement piece in living rooms, reading corners, or beneath coffee tables, this vintage Scandinavian wool rug blends artistic flair with Nordic comfort. 

The vintage carpet was masterfully handcrafted with the finest wool, employing traditional and refined weaving techniques, and dates back to the Middle Ages.

Its style, Rya, developed centuries ago in Scandinavia to protect people, especially mariners living off the sea, from severe weather conditions.

Despite its historical heritage, the antique bears have an exceptionally modern design that is set in the aesthetic standards of the 50s.

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

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!
