About the Item

🍂 Vintage Swedish Rya Rug in Autumn Tones – Wool Rug Add a touch of Nordic warmth and mid-century charm to your home with this striking Vintage Swedish Rya rug. Hand-knotted in thick, plush wool, the rug features a bold geometric design in rich autumnal hues: deep moss green, burnt orange, ochre, and russet, accented with creamy white banded fringes. This wonderful shaggy wool Rya Rug, measuring 173 x 92cm, it’s the ideal size for layering in a hallway, bedroom, or reading nook. This beautiful Vintage Swedish Rya rug was discovered tucked away in a storeroom of a charming country house in rural Sussex. The home had belonged to a well-travelled couple who had collected unique pieces from their Scandinavian travels in the 1960s and '70s. When we unfurled the Scandinavian wool rug from its linen wrapping, the colours were as vibrant as ever—a cosy echo of vintage interiors, ski lodges, and candlelit Swedish winters. Rya rugs have a storied heritage dating back to 15th-century Sweden, originally crafted as thick wool bed covers for sailors braving the harsh Nordic climate. Over time, they evolved into decorative carpets prized for their insulating warmth and bold modernist designs. Each knot in this rug is tied using the Ghiordes knot method, with three strands of wool per knot, giving the piece a tactile depth and vibrant colour shift that changes with the light. This is not just a Vintage Swedish Rya rug—it’s a textile story woven through time, ready to bring retro soul and Scandinavian style to a new home. In good vintage condition with light wear consistent with age and use. stylish, and ready to furnish. At Vintage Midcentury, we take great care to ensure your Scandinavian wool rug arrives safely.
