About the Item
Vintage Swedish Rya Rug by Marianne Richter Doris Leslie Blau Collection
Size: 5'7" × 7'7" (170 × 231 cm)
This exceptional vintage Rya rug was designed by Marianne Richter, one of Sweden’s most celebrated textile artists, known for her masterful contributions to the Swedish weaving tradition and her innovative mid-century aesthetic. Created circa 1960, this piece beautifully illustrates the bold design sensibility and rich materiality that define Scandinavian modernism.
The rug’s geometric composition is both rhythmic and expressive — a dynamic interplay of concentric diamonds and circular medallions, meticulously arranged to create a sense of movement and symmetry. The palette radiates with deep shades of indigo, midnight blue, teal, and marine green, evoking the depth and luminosity of Nordic waters.
Woven from hand-knotted wool, the long, plush Rya pile gives the surface a tactile softness and lustrous sheen. This signature texture not only enhances its visual depth but also provides a sense of comfort and warmth, making it as inviting underfoot as it is visually striking.
Richter’s work merges artistry with function, turning a traditional Swedish craft into a work of modern art. This Rya rug stands as a testament to her creative vision — bold yet balanced, graphic yet organic — making it a perfect statement piece for both mid-century and contemporary interiors.
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.
