This vintage Scandinavian Rya rug is a striking mid-century wool piece featuring a bold geometric pattern in warm autumnal tones of orange, mustard, cream, brown, and black. Hand-knotted with a lush, high-pile texture characteristic of traditional Rya craftsmanship, this rug reflects the iconic 1970s Nordic design aesthetic. Its symmetrical, almost kaleidoscopic composition creates a dynamic focal point, making it perfect as a statement wall hanging or a cosy floor accent. Ideal for collectors and interior designers, this authentic Scandinavian Rya rug made from wool adds retro charm and textural warmth to any modern or vintage-inspired setting.

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 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 have an exceptionally modern design that aligns with the aesthetic standards of the 1950s.

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 restored, and the fringes secured, ensuring many more years of life. Additionally, we recommend using a rug pad with a grippy back to keep your rug in place and to smooth out any wrinkles that may have occurred during 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!
