This vintage Scandinavian Rya wool rug is a bold, textural celebration of natural tones and abstract design. Featuring a dense, high-pile weave in a dramatic gradient of gold, ochre, walnut, and charcoal, the rug evokes the shifting light of a forest canopy or autumnal landscape. The dynamic, almost flame-like pattern at the centre radiates energy and warmth, while the tactile wool pile offers luxurious softness underfoot. Finished with a traditional fringe on one end, this mid-century piece embodies Nordic modernism's embrace of organic forms and functional comfort, making it ideal as a striking floor rug or an expressive wall hanging.
This vintage pile weave dates back to the time of the Scandinavian rugs' greatest glory. These rugs were made over half a century ago, and to this day, they remain unspoilt by time due to their extraordinary quality and design.
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 an exceptionally modern design, adhering to the aesthetic standards of the 1950s.
Pictures are taken in natural light to portray the most realistic colours possible. Due to the handmade and preloved nature of these rugs, slight imperfections and flaws are not considered defects.
Our rugs are professionally restored, and the fringes secured, ensuring many more years of life. Additionally, we recommend using a rug pad with a grippy back to keep your rug in place and to smooth out any wrinkles that may have occurred during 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.
