About the Item

This is a vintage Scandinavian Rya rug from the 1960s, featuring a distinctive long, shaggy pile made from knotted wool. Rya rugs have a rich history, originally serving as thick bed covers for sailors in the 15th century before evolving into decorative pieces prized for their warmth and bold designs. The rug's design is typical of the mid-century modern aesthetic, which often features bold geometric patterns and abstract shapes. The colour palette includes shades of grey, gold, brown, and white, which were commonly used in mid-century modern designs. The centre resembles a clock or sun dial The long, soft pile is known for creating a tactile surface that changes with the light and adds a luxurious feel to any space.
