Vintage Swedish Flat-Weave Rug by Ingegerd Silow, Signed “IKS” BB4790 6'5" × 9'7" $18,000

This remarkable vintage Swedish flat-weave rug, attributed to the celebrated textile designer Ingegerd Silow, is a beautiful example of mid-century Scandinavian textile artistry. Handwoven in wool, the piece features a harmonious grid design of stylized geometric medallions in soft, earthy tones—warm browns, muted creams, gentle yellows, and pale apricots—each framed within a structured matrix that brings a modernist rhythm to the composition.

The use of subtle color variation and tonal blending in the design gives the rug both visual texture and warmth, creating a balanced interplay between form and palette. The abstract shapes echo traditional Scandinavian folk motifs while embracing the functionalist elegance of the modernist era.

Silow’s signature “IKS” is woven into the corner of the rug, confirming its authenticity and origin. Both decorative and collectible, this flat-weave is a timeless piece of Swedish design that would complement interiors ranging from minimalist to eclectic with its quiet sophistication and heritage charm.

With its unique pattern and refined colors, this vintage rug reflects the impeccable taste of Doris Leslie Blau’s selections.Offering both rare, high-end pieces and more accessible options, Doris Leslie Blau presents rugs in a wide spectrum of prices.
