$10,000

This vintage Scandinavian rya antique rug features a bold all-over design of abstract, elongated oval shapes in shades of vivid plum with large tan and dark blue organic shapes and a dark blue border. The overall look of the vintage carpet is modernist and minimal. A rya is a traditional Scandinavian wool vintage runner rug with a long pile of about 1 to 3 inches. They were created using a form of the Ghiordes knot to make the double-sided pile fabric. The first ryas originated in the early fifteenth century as coarse, heavy covers used by mariners instead of furs. As time progressed, the vintage Scandinavian rugs have evolved to be lighter and more colorful. Each knot is composed of three strands of wool, which enables the carpet to exhibit rich texture from all the different shades of color.
