This Vintage Scandinavian Rya Rug, also known as a Prinstapijt Desso, showcases a stunning gradient design that radiates from the center outward, creating a starburst or sunburst effect. The color palette features warm, earthy tones of soft beige blending seamlessly into richer shades of burnt orange and deep terracotta along the edges. The high-pile texture typical of rya rugs adds a plush, tactile quality that enhances the visual depth of the gradient pattern.

This rug embodies the Scandinavian design ethos with its clean yet dynamic pattern, natural colors, and exceptional craftsmanship. The sunburst effect draws attention and adds a bold artistic statement to any space, while the warm hues offer a cozy and inviting atmosphere. Perfect for modern or retro interiors, this rya rug combines comfort with visual impact, making it a timeless decorative piece.

The vintage carpet was masterfully hand-crafted 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 severe weather conditions.

Despite its historical heritage, the antique bears an exceptionally modern design 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!
