About the Item

Vintage Swedish Rya Rug Doris Leslie Blau Size: 6'3" × 10'1" (190 × 307 cm) This vintage Swedish Rya rug features a plush, shaggy texture, characteristic of traditional Scandinavian craftsmanship. The design showcases bold geometric shapes and abstract patterns, arranged in a harmonious, symmetrical layout. The interplay of colors like beige, blue, pink, greens and yellow together with alternating shapes creates a sense of movement, characteristic of Scandinavian modern design. The high pile gives the rug a cozy feel, while the hand-knotted wool construction ensures durability. This rug’s intricate detailing reflects the traditional craftsmanship of Swedish Rya weaving. Its style – Rya – was developed many centuries ago in Scandinavia to protect the people, especially the mariners living off the sea, from the harsh weather conditions. The first Ryas were modeled on natural animal fur, hence they are characterized by an exceptionally shaggy, long pile. This rug is part of the esteemed Doris Leslie Blau collection, renowned for its curated selection of antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs. Doris Leslie Blau offers a vast selection of antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs in a wide range of styles, materials, and price points, making fine textile art accessible to both collectors and designers alike.
