This vintage Scandinavian Rya rug is a bold and tactile piece of mid-century textile art, showcasing the distinctive long-pile shag texture for which Rya rugs are celebrated. The design centres around a radiant orange and gold field that seems to glow with warmth, framed by an organic mosaic of irregular, stone-like shapes in rich autumnal hues, burnt sienna, ochre, chestnut, and black.
The dynamic interplay of texture and colour gives the rug a vibrant, almost volcanic energy, while the hand-tufted wool pile offers a plush and cosy surface. The abstract border and fiery colour palette are quintessentially retro, making this piece a perfect accent for lovers of 1960s–70s Scandinavian modernism.
Ideal as a wall hanging or statement floor rug, this piece brings both visual impact and nostalgic charm to any interior space.
The vintage carpet was masterly 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 its historical heritage, the antique bears an exceptionally modern design, set in the aesthetic standards of the 50s.
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 cleaned.
