About the Item
Vintage Swedish Rya Rug by Ritta Aaltonen Doris Leslie Blau Collection
Size: 2'4" × 3'0" (71 × 91 cm)
This striking vintage Swedish Rya rug, designed by Ritta Aaltonen in the 1960s, exemplifies the bold geometry and rich texture that define Scandinavian mid-century textile art. Woven in a lush, high-pile wool, the piece boasts a dramatic interplay of angles and color fields arranged in an abstract, intersecting chevron motif.
The palette radiates warmth and depth, featuring deep oxblood red, burgundy, charcoal, and fiery crimson, subtly blended with flecks of lighter tones that add movement and visual intrigue. The dense shaggy pile enhances both tactile richness and chromatic vibrancy, creating a three-dimensional effect that shifts beautifully with light and perspective.
Aaltonen’s work embodies the fusion of artistic expression and functional design—making this compact yet impactful Rya rug ideal as a statement accent in mid-century modern, contemporary, or eclectic 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.
