About the Item

Vintage rya rug designed by Marianne Richter, produced in Sweden during the mid-20th century. The rug exemplifies Richter’s distinctive approach to textile design, combining a dense hand-knotted pile with a clear, modernist composition. Known for her ability to balance color, texture, and structure, Richter played a significant role in shaping Scandinavian textile design in the post-war period. This rya features a rich wool pile with natural depth and tactile quality, characteristic of traditional Swedish rya production. The proportions and material execution make it suitable for both domestic interiors and curated design settings. The rug retains a strong visual presence while remaining versatile in placement. Condition is good vintage, with light wear consistent with age and use. No major damages or repairs noted. The rug has been professionally maintained and presents well overall. A solid example of Swedish mid-century textile design, representative of Marianne Richter’s enduring influence within Scandinavian modernism.
