Vintage Scandinavian Rya Table Runner Rug 4' x 5"

$255 $339

Size: 4 ft x 5 inch

Origin: Scandinavia

Circa: 1960s

Material: Pure Wool 

This vintage Scandinavian Rya table runner rug is a striking wool textile, hand-knotted with the traditional high-pile technique. Set against a soft ivory ground, the rug features a rhythmic pattern of blue, green, and black abstract floral or tree-like motifs running vertically along its narrow form. The combination of cool tones and thick texture lends it both visual and tactile appeal, making it perfect for use on sideboards, coffee tables, or as a decorative wall hanging. A beautiful example of Nordic craftsmanship, it adds mid-century charm and warmth to any interior. 

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, 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 have an exceptionally modern design that is settled in the aesthetic standards of the 50s.

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

Our rugs are professionally restored, and the fringes secured, ensuring many more years of life. In addition, we advise using a rug pad with a grip back to keep your rug in position and to smooth out any wrinkles from 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!
