About the Item
Swedish Rya Rug by Terttu Tomero Doris Leslie Blau Collection
Size: 3'6" × 5'5" (106 × 165 cm)
This evocative Swedish Rya rug, designed by Terttu Tomero in the mid-20th century, captures the poetic spirit of Scandinavian modernism through texture, movement, and subtle color blending. The design centers around a radiant, circular motif—resembling a rising sun or a ripple on water—surrounded by softly diffused concentric layers that seem to shimmer across the high-pile surface.
Handwoven in Sweden from high-quality wool, the rug features a soothing palette of cream, misty grey, sandy beige, muted peach, soft coral, and pale ochre, with delicate transitions that create a gentle, watercolor-like effect. The shaggy Rya construction adds depth, warmth, and a tactile richness that invites touch while enhancing the organic rhythm of the design.
Tomero’s composition balances calmness and energy, making this piece equally suited as a cozy floor covering or a striking textile artwork for wall display. Its tranquil yet expressive aesthetic reflects the era’s fascination with nature, abstraction, and emotional resonance in textile design.
A rare find for collectors and lovers of Scandinavian mid-century style, this vintage Rya rug embodies elegance, comfort, and artistic craftsmanship.
With its unique pattern and refined colors, this rug reflects the impeccable taste of Doris Leslie Blau’s selections. Offering both rare, high-end pieces and more accessible options, Doris Leslie Blau presents rugs in a wide spectrum of prices.
