This vintage Scandinavian Rya rug is a charming hand-knotted wool piece featuring a stylised landscape scene with trees, a radiant sun, and distant mountains in warm earthy tones of cream, brown, beige, and burnt orange. With its high-pile shag texture, the rug captures the essence of mid-century Nordic design, providing both tactile comfort and visual storytelling. Ideal for creating a cosy, retro-inspired interior, this Rya rug doubles as both a functional floor covering and a piece of wall art. A true collectable for lovers of vintage Scandinavian textiles, it adds character and warmth to any room.

This vintage pile weave comes from the time of the Scandinavian rugs crossword's greatest glory. These rugs were made over half a century ago, and to this day, they remain unspoiled by time due to their extraordinary quality and design.

The vintage carpet was masterfully hand-executed with the finest wool following traditional and refined weaving techniques, reaching 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 historical heritage, the antique bears an exceptionally modern design settled in the aesthetic standards of the 50s.

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!
