Rya Rug Vintage Scandinavian Carpet 42367

Vintage Rya Rug, Finland, Mid 20th Century - This bold and exuberant Finnish Rya has a classic abstract "kehra" pattern of circles and lines in a luscious palette of orange, browns, saffron, and pale blue, on creamy tan unfolding a cross a rich dense long piled surface. It preserves beautifully the Turkish tradition of "yataks" or bedding rugs that inspired such Scandinavian weavings centuries ago. Rarely does something with such traditional folk roots have such sophisticated modern appeal.
