This vibrant vintage Swedish Rya rug features a charming folk-art scene depicting a woman standing in a lush countryside under a glowing moonlit sky. Woven in bold hues of cobalt blue, grass green, fiery orange, and soft ivory, the composition comes alive with rich textures and expressive details. Hand-knotted in pure wool, this mid-century Scandinavian textile embodies the whimsical yet sophisticated aesthetic typical of 1960s and 70s Sweden. The plush shag pile adds warmth and depth, making it an ideal choice as both a cosy floor rug and an eye-catching wall hanging. A perfect piece for collectors and decorators looking for vintage Swedish Rya rugs, Scandinavian wool tapestries, or artistic Nordic decor with storybook charm and visual impact.
The vintage carpet was masterfully hand-crafted with the finest wool, following traditional and refined weaving techniques, and dates 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.
