This large, vintage Scandinavian Rya wool rug features a bold, abstract design in earthy tones of cream, beige, brown, and rust. The high-pile wool texture adds a rich tactile quality, typical of mid-century Scandinavian textiles. The geometric composition features flowing curves, linear elements, and a central circular motif, creating a dynamic and modernist aesthetic. Soft yet structured, this rug seamlessly blends functionality with artistic expression, making it perfect for adding warmth and visual intrigue to contemporary or retro-inspired interiors.
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 an exceptionally modern design, adhering to the aesthetic standards of the 1950s.
