This vintage Scandinavian Rya rug is a luxurious blend of silk and cotton, showcasing traditional Nordic craftsmanship with a vibrant and cosy design. The rug features a plush, textured surface combining the softness of cotton and the subtle sheen of silk fibres. Its warm colour palette highlights bright yellows, rich oranges, deep browns, and delicate white geometric motifs arranged vertically, creating a lively yet harmonious pattern. This mid-century modern piece perfectly captures the essence of Scandinavian textile art, adding both warmth and elegance to any living space with its unique texture and vibrant colours.
The vintage carpet was masterfully hand-crafted with the finest materials 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.
