This vintage Scandinavian Rya wool rug exudes tactile luxury with its deep, plush pile and minimalist aesthetic. Featuring a richly mottled surface of burnt orange interwoven with subtle black strands, the rug creates a visual texture reminiscent of animal fur or windswept fields. The dense, shaggy finish, characteristic of traditional Rya craftsmanship, offers exceptional warmth and softness, designed initially for both floor and bedding use in Nordic homes. Bold yet understated, this mid-century modern piece blends rustic charm with Scandinavian design sensibilities, making it an ideal statement rug for cosy interiors, reading nooks, or artfully minimal spaces.
This vintage pile weave dates back to the time of the Scandinavian rug's greatest glory. These rugs were made over half a century ago, and due to their extraordinary quality and design, they have remained unspoiled over time.
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.
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.
