ORIGIN: SCANDINAVIA

MATERIAL: PURE WOOL

This vintage Scandinavian Rya rug is a richly textured woollen piece, known for its soft, deep pile and distinctive Nordic design language. The composition is both decorative and structured, showcasing a delicate balance between natural motifs and geometric borders.

At the centre lies a vertical arrangement of vine-like foliage in vibrant olive green, set against a warm cream background. The floral elements are loosely rendered, creating a painterly, almost tapestry-like effect. A deep terracotta inner frame borders these motifs, adding definition and a subtle visual break between the central field and the surrounding design.

Encircling this inner panel is a scalloped outer border, featuring repeating stylised dots and diamond shapes in shades of coral, peach, sienna, and chocolate brown. The transition in colour intensity from light, sandy tones at the inner edge to darker, earthy hues toward the outer frame creates a subtle gradient that draws the eye inward.

Handwoven from thick, high-quality wool, the rug offers both warmth and tactile softness, making it ideal for cosy living spaces, reading nooks, or wall displays. Its harmonious palette, inspired by natural dyes and Nordic landscapes, allows it to blend beautifully into both traditional and contemporary interiors.

With its inviting textures, folk-inspired motifs, and layered tonal range, this Rya rug exemplifies the finest example of Scandinavian textile artistry.
