Beautiful Vintage Mid Century Swedish Scandinavian Shaggy Rya Rug, Country Of Origin: Finland, Circa : Mid-20th Century –  This bold and exuberant vintage rug – a Finnish Shaggy Rya rug – 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 across a rich dense long piled surface. This vintage mid century modern Swedish Scandinavian Shaggy Rya rug 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.
