1960s Rya Rug by Finnish Textile Artist Marjatta Metsovaara

About the Item

1960s rya rug by Finnish textile artist Marjatta Metsovaara, approx 6x9 feet. A happy, kaleidoscopic pinwheel of magents, reds, pinks and oranges. Good vintage condition with heavy wear on one section (pictured). L108 W67 This vibrant 1960s rya rug, designed by celebrated Finnish textile artist Marjatta Metsovaara, showcases her signature blend of bold colors and dynamic patterns. With its lush, high-pile wool and swirling, abstract design in rich shades of magenta, orange, and purple, the rug is a striking example of mid-century Scandinavian craftsmanship. The tactile quality of the rya technique, which features long, soft threads, makes this piece both visually captivating and a joy to walk on. Perfect for adding a touch of retro warmth and artistic flair to any interior space. There is one section in particular where some of the colored part of the carpet has worn down, the size of a hand or so, I don't find it very noticeable.
