Mid-Century Scandinavian Rya Teal Hand-Knotted Wool Rug BB9244 5'3" × 7'10"

This vintage mid-century Scandinavian Swedish hand-knotted wool rug brings the plush character of a rya into a compact, collectible format. Originating in Scandinavia, it pairs traditional Nordic craft with a distinctly modern graphic rhythm.

A teal ground sets the stage for an orderly all-over pattern of navy blocks and violet diamond motifs, each accented by a darker center. The long pile gives the surface a soft, tactile depth, so the geometry feels less rigid than printed patterning and more like color shifting through layers of wool.

Instead of a formal border, the composition depends on repetition and contrast, creating a calm but lively effect that suits mid-century, contemporary, and minimalist interiors. The saturated blue-green palette reads fresh and confident, while the violet outlines add just enough edge to keep the design visually engaging. Hand-knotted construction reinforces its enduring appeal.

Curated by Doris Leslie Blau, this vintage rug represents the enduring beauty and craftsmanship that have defined the gallery since its establishment in 1965.
