Swedish Rya Rug in Geometric Pattern of Red Orange and Black

About the Item

Deep dense 100% wool shag pile square rya rug produced in Denmark circa 1965 by Dania Taepper in a geometric collage of contrasting reds and black. Measures: 90" x 90". Rya or rye is a traditional Scandinavian wool rug with a long pile of about 1 to 3 inches. Made using a form of the Ghiordes knot to make the double-sided pile fabric. Though rya means "rug" in English, the original meaning in Sweden of rya was a bed cover with a knotted pile. The first ryas originated in the early fifteenth century as coarse, long-piled, heavy covers used by mariners instead of furs. As time went on the rugs became more bright and colorful. Now very much a part of mid century interior design.
