About the Item
Vintage Rya Rug by Riitta Maija Oksanen Doris Leslie Blau Collection
Size: 3'0" × 5'2" (91 × 157 cm)
This captivating vintage Rya rug, designed by acclaimed Finnish textile artist Riitta Maija Oksanen, is an exquisite example of mid-century Scandinavian modernism. Crafted in the 1960s, the piece showcases the Nordic tradition of Rya weaving—renowned for its deep, plush pile and painterly surface effects.
The design is a soft, abstract landscape rendered in a soothing palette of ivory, dove gray, charcoal, and muted stone blue, blending organically like brushstrokes on a snowy canvas. Subtle gradations and freeform shapes lend the rug an almost ethereal, dreamlike quality, reflecting the artist’s refined sense of movement and form. The luxuriously deep shag pile provides both rich texture and tactile warmth, making it as inviting underfoot as it is visually engaging.
This Rya rug exemplifies Oksanen’s ability to merge artistry with craftsmanship, embodying the Finnish ethos of beauty in simplicity and functionality. Ideal as a statement piece in modern, Nordic, or eclectic interiors, it offers a rare fusion of comfort, minimalism, and artistic expression.
A collector-worthy textile, this vintage piece from Doris Leslie Blau Collection carries the soul of Scandinavian design into the present with quiet elegance. Doris Leslie Blau offers a broad and varied pricing spectrum, accommodating collectors and designers across a range of budgets—from modest vintage finds to rare, museum-worthy masterpieces.
