This striking vintage Scandinavian Rya rug is a bold example of Nordic mid-century textile art, featuring a thick, plush wool pile and a dramatic monochrome palette. The central black vertical band is adorned with stylised tree or floral motifs in rich brown and charcoal, creating a dynamic visual contrast against the soft grey and ivory background. Hand-knotted with luxurious wool, the rug offers warmth, texture, and a strong graphic presence, making it an ideal accent for modern, bohemian, or minimalist interiors. Its timeless design and tactile surface embody the Scandinavian ethos of functionality blended with artistic expression.

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 have an exceptionally modern design that is set 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!
