Rya Rug Vintage 1925's Scandinavian/Danish Shag Rug

Antique Scandinavian “Rya” Rug Size: 5'11" × 9'1" Date: Signed and dated, circa 1925 A fine example of an early 20th-century Scandinavian rya, distinguished by its long, hand-knotted wool pile and richly textured surface. Originally conceived in Sweden as both bedding and floor covering, ryas of this period became highly decorative statement pieces. This rug features a vibrant multi-color palette with a bold, unique composition that enhances its visual impact. The pile is deep, soft, and lustrous, retaining excellent original condition with strong, unfaded dyes and no signs of brittleness or restoration. Signed and dated, this rya stands out as both a decorative textile and a collectible artifact of Scandinavian design from the 1920s. Its size and striking aesthetic make it an exceptional statement piece for modern or traditional interiors alike.
