About the Item

Vintage Swedish Rya Rug in Blue Size: 5'2" × 7'8" (157 × 233 cm) This vintage Swedish Rya rug is a stunning testament to mid-century Scandinavian textile design, offering both warmth and textural beauty. Hand-knotted in Sweden circa 1950s–1960s, the rug showcases a luxurious deep-pile construction, characteristic of traditional rya rugs, originally developed to provide insulation in the Nordic climate. Its surface is a captivating oceanic blend of blue hues, subtly interwoven with soft lavender and slate-gray tones that create a rich sense of movement and depth. The shaggy, almost sculptural pile adds dimension and a tactile softness that invites comfort, making it as functional as it is visually appealing. This piece exemplifies the harmonious balance between utility and artistry inherent to Swedish modernist design. Whether placed in a contemporary interior or used to soften a minimalist space, this Rya rug offers a serene yet expressive presence. Showcasing the finest materials and patterns, this design is part of the expansive Doris Leslie Blau collection, renowned for its rare and unique finds across a wide range of prices.
