Mid-Century Scandinavian Abstract Lavender Flatweave Wool Rug By Ingegerd Silow BB9009 6'8" × 9'0" $14,000

This vintage Swedish flatweave wool rug by Ingegerd Silow comes from the Scandinavian weaving tradition and captures the clean, modern spirit of mid-century design. Handwoven in a flat, durable construction, it pairs Silow’s artistic eye with a distinctly Nordic sense of balance.

The composition is a full-field abstract of overlapping leaf-like and petal-shaped forms, arranged without a border or medallion so the design reads as open and rhythmic. Soft lavender, powder blue, sage green, ivory, blush, and warm terracotta move across the surface in layered blocks, creating a painterly effect that feels both graphic and gentle. The stepped edges of each motif add subtle geometry and keep the pattern animated.

Because the palette stays light and the negative space remains generous, the rug brings color without heaviness. It suits contemporary, Scandinavian, and mid-century interiors especially well, where a vintage wool flatweave can soften architectural lines and introduce quiet movement. This is a refined choice for collectors drawn to abstract Swedish rugs with a fresh, textural presence.

Curated by Doris Leslie Blau, this vintage rug carries the distinct character and artisanal soul that the gallery has championed for decades. With an unrivaled selection spanning eras, origins, and price points, Doris Leslie Blau continues to make fine carpet art accessible to designers and collectors worldwide.
