A striking vintage Finnish ryijy wall hanging titled "Metsässä palaa" ("Fire in the Forest"), designed by renowned Finnish textile artist Kirsti Ilvessalo. The dramatic composition combines vivid shades of red and black with cream and moss green tones, creating the impression of a forest illuminated by flames.
Handwoven from wool using the traditional Finnish ryijy technique, this piece features a luxurious long pile with beautiful texture and depth. Originally designed during the golden era of Finnish textile art, it represents Scandinavian mid-century modern design at its finest.
The ryijy can be displayed as a wall tapestry or used as a decorative floor textile. A remarkable statement piece for collectors of Nordic design and Finnish textile art.
