Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - 'The Ryijy-Rugs of Finland: A Historical Study' is an authoritative exploration of the rich tradition of Finnish textile arts, specifically focusing on the iconic ryijy rug. Written by renowned ethnologist Uuno Taavi Sirelius, this work serves as a comprehensive historical and aesthetic survey of one of Finland's most significant forms of folk expression. The text meticulously traces the evolution of these knotted-pile textiles from their origins as functional bedding and boat rugs used by mariners and hunters to their development into decorative art pieces that symbolize Finnish national identity.

Add to basketSoftcover. Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. If one should choose a textile most typical of Finland, it would certainly be the hand-knotted ryijy-rug. For many centuries ryijys have been made by Finnish women (and sometimes also men) and in many homes a ryijy still hangs in a place of honour on the wall bringing a touch of softness and cosiness. One of the aims of this collection is to show how inventive the women in Finland have been from the 18th century until today and how developed their sense of beauty has been. Ryijys are the best testimony of this. In addition, their gradual development from folk art into internationally appreciated textile art is most interesting. Collector Tuomas Sopanen aims to be able to show the development and the beauty of the Finnish ryijys with examples of various types. 119 pp. Text in Hungarian and English. Gorgeous color photos of some of the most striking rugs!
