This vintage Scandinavian Rya rug is a radiant display of mid-century Nordic design, featuring a dramatic sunburst or floral rosette motif that emanates from the centre in soft, symmetrical layers. Woven with thick, high-pile wool, the rug blends warm hues of ivory, honey, caramel, and golden brown, creating a glowing, almost three-dimensional effect.
The shaggy texture enhances both the visual and tactile appeal, making it as cosy underfoot as it is striking to the eye. Characteristic of 1960s and 70s Scandinavian textile artistry, this piece embodies the perfect balance between functional warmth and artistic expression.
Ideal as a bold floor covering or an expressive wall tapestry, this Rya rug brings retro-modern elegance and a soothing natural palette to interiors inspired by vintage, bohemian, or Scandinavian aesthetics.
The vintage carpet was masterfully hand-executed with the finest wool, following traditional and refined weaving techniques, and reached 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, adhering to the aesthetic standards of the 1950s.
