An exceptional vintage Finnish ryijy designed by Tuula Saarenpää and titled "Kuunkivet" (Moonstones). This striking mid-century textile art piece combines abstract organic forms with rich earthy tones and vivid accents of blue, purple, burgundy, orange and red against a soft natural wool background.
The composition resembles moonstones or geological formations, creating a highly artistic and sculptural appearance that works beautifully in both modern and traditional interiors.
Handwoven in Finland during the Scandinavian modern era, this ryijy is both a decorative wall hanging and a collectible piece of Finnish textile design history. Similar examples date from the 1960s and are highly sought after by collectors of Nordic textile art.
