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.
