About the Item
Traditional Scandinavian wool rug with a long pile of about 1 to 3 inches are called Rya after a town in southwest Sweden. Rya Swedish rugs date back to the 16th century. This rug measure 158 x 100 cm and is hand-knotted with the ghiordes knot in wool over cotton warp and weft. The wool thread used in the knotting is made up of three strands which allow for the combination of shades of the same color or completely different colors, giving a particular vibration to the finished carpet. Originally woven in solid colors, beginning in the mid-17th century Rya rugs introduced both geometric and floral decoration. Initially inspired by the Persian style, little by little the Swedish artisans and artists introduced elements of the rich and profound Scandinavian culture in rugs decoration. Let's discover them together!
