This vibrant vintage Scandinavian Rya rug bursts with energy and colour, a true reflection of mid-20th-century modernist textile design. Handwoven in thick wool pile, it showcases a dynamic swirling pattern in bold tones of fiery orange, deep red, lush green, and grounding black. The abstract design creates a sense of movement and depth, almost like a painted canvas transformed into textile form, embodying the artistic freedom and creativity that Rya rugs became celebrated for in Scandinavian interiors.
The dense, shaggy pile typical of Rya rugs not only adds warmth and comfort but also enhances the striking visual impact of the design. Rich in both texture and colour, this rug serves as a statement piece, blending traditional Nordic craftsmanship with a modernist flair. Perfect for collectors or design enthusiasts, it brings both heritage and bold artistry into any interior 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, 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.

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.
