Size: 4.10 x 2.6 ft.

Origin: Scandinavia

Circa: 1980s

Material: Pure Wool 

This vintage Scandinavian Rya rug is a stunning wool textile featuring an abstract, geometric design in a muted, earthy colour palette. The rug showcases a mix of soft blues, browns, creams, and greys arranged in dynamic shapes that resemble stylised natural and tribal motifs. The plush, high-pile texture typical of Rya rugs adds depth and warmth, making it both a functional floor covering and a piece of mid-century Scandinavian art. This rug beautifully combines traditional craftsmanship with modernist design, perfect for adding texture and character to any living space.

The vintage carpet was masterfully hand-crafted with the finest wool, following traditional and refined weaving techniques, and reached 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 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!
