About the Item

Handwoven Scandinavian rya rug from the 1970s, characterized by its deep pile and geometric composition in layered tones of blue, beige, grey, and burnt orange. The rug is executed in pure wool, giving it a dense, tactile surface typical of rya weaving traditions. The asymmetrical colour field and textured transitions contribute to a distinct visual rhythm, where each section reveals variations in tone and fibre direction. Rya rugs were central to Scandinavian textile production during the mid-20th century, valued for their durable construction and pronounced material presence. This example retains the original fringes at both ends, underscoring the handmade character of the piece. The wool pile provides depth and dimension without additional ornamentation, aligning with the Nordic approach to textile design rooted in texture, craftsmanship, and clarity of form.
