This vintage Scandinavian round woollen Rya rug, often called a "Sunburst" design, is a striking example of mid-century modern textile art. Radiating from the centre in concentric circles, the rug bursts with fiery hues of deep crimson, burnt orange, and vivid scarlet. The shaggy, high-pile texture enhances its bold visual impact, evoking the warmth and energy of a setting sun or glowing ember. Crafted with thick Scandinavian wool, this tactile piece balances retro vibrance with comforting softness, making it a statement decor item and a cosy floor covering. Ideal for adding a dramatic, vintage touch to modern interiors.
The vintage carpet was masterfully hand-executed with the finest wool, following traditional and refined weaving techniques, and reached the Middle Ages.
Its style, Rya, developed centuries ago in Scandinavia to protect people, especially mariners living off the sea, from severe weather conditions.
Despite their historical heritage, the antique bears have an exceptionally modern design, set in the aesthetic standards of the 1950s.
