About the Item

A spectacular vintage Scandinavian Rya shag runner in radiant tones of orange and yellow, this piece embodies the bold spirit and tactile luxury of 1970s Nordic textile design. Handwoven in long, narrow proportions—a format rarely seen among Rya rugs The wool pile is composed of interwoven orange and golden strands, producing a deep, flame-like coloration that shifts beautifully under changing light. The long, lustrous fibers capture warmth and motion, creating a dynamic visual effect that reads as both modern and organic. Each Rya rug is a work of handcraft, woven from high-quality Scandinavian wool prized for its softness, sheen, and durability. This runner’s dense pile and hand-knotted structure ensure longevity while offering remarkable texture underfoot. Condition is excellent vintage, with only faint, age-appropriate marks that appear cleanable. The colors remain saturated, and the pile retains its full volume and softness. This runner adds a dramatic focal point beneath a coffee table, along a hallway, or framing a dining area. It pairs perfectly with teak or rosewood furniture, brass accents, neutral upholstery, and minimalist interiors where color and texture take center stage. Dimensions: 146″ L × 53″ W (371 × 135 cm) Condition: Excellent vintage condition; minor cleanable spots. Quantity: Two available. Price is per rug. A rare opportunity for collectors and designers alike—this Scandinavian Rya runner represents a fusion of modern design, handwoven artistry, and mid-century exuberance, offering warmth, craftsmanship, and a statement of color that enlivens any space.
