Doris Leslie Blau Vintage Swedish Shaggy Rya Rug

About the Item

Vintage Swedish Shaggy Rya Rug Size: 3'9" × 5'11" (114 × 180 cm) Infused with the tranquility of the Nordic landscape, this vintage Swedish rya rug from the 1950s is a captivating example of Scandinavian modernism. Woven in a lush shag pile, the rug features undulating bands of deep navy, powder blue, and soft sky blue—evoking the rhythmic motion of waves or gentle snowfall across frozen terrain. Small tufts in earthy brown and ivory dot the composition, adding a layer of visual and tactile interest while subtly breaking the symmetry. True to the traditional rya weaving technique, the rug offers a rich, dense texture—both insulating and inviting underfoot. The alternating high-pile wool and lower-looped sections create a sculptural quality that emphasizes the organic flow of the design. Finished with delicately woven fringes and checked selvedge borders, the piece retains a distinctly artisanal character. 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.
