Mid-Century Scandinavian Geometric Warm Tan Flatweave Wool Rug By Ingegerd Silow BB4944 6'6" × 9'5" $14,000

This mid-century Swedish flatweave wool rug, designed by Ingegerd Silow and woven circa 1940 in the Rölakan tradition, brings Scandinavian modernism into a quietly disciplined form. Handwoven in wool, it offers the crisp surface and durable character that make flatweave rugs especially suited to active living spaces, libraries, and dining areas.

A warm tan field sets the tone, bordered by soft gray framing and bands of stepped geometric motifs in ivory, pale yellow, and muted blue-green. At center, a compact lozenge-like arrangement of cross forms creates a focal point, while mirrored end panels repeat the same rhythmic language with calm symmetry.

The palette is restrained but luminous, allowing the pattern to read as architectural rather than busy. Its generous negative space and balanced geometry make it an easy fit for mid-century, contemporary, or warm-minimal rooms, where a Swedish geometric rug can add texture, history, and visual clarity without visual heaviness. It has the composure of a textile designed to anchor a room rather than dominate it.
