Scandinavian Mid-Century Geometric Cream Beige Flatweave Wool Rug Signed By Ingegerd Silow BB7791 6'5" × 9'1" $17,000

This vintage flat-weave Swedish rug, designed and signed by celebrated textile artist Ingegerd Silow, exemplifies the timeless elegance and refined symmetry of Scandinavian modernism. Woven in the mid-20th century, the piece features a harmonious palette of soft blues, muted greys, and pastel pinks, brought to life through Silow’s masterful use of geometric and floral abstraction.

At the heart of the composition are three large elliptical medallions, rendered in a gradient of silvery blue, subtly shifting in hue to create depth and movement. These medallions are flanked by stylized floral motifs arranged in crosses of cream, pink, and green, which add both contrast and warmth to the design. A series of vertical navy and indigo bars punctuate the background, contributing a sense of rhythm and modernity.

Crafted from handwoven wool, the rug showcases the flat-weaving tradition that prioritizes both durability and minimal texture—ideal for layering or use in high-traffic areas. The rug is completed with braided fringe and a woven signature “IS” in the corner, confirming its authorship by Silow.

With its clean lines, gentle color gradations, and balanced layout, this Swedish kilim is not only a striking decorative element but also a collectible piece of Nordic textile history. It reflects Silow’s ability to merge folk-art influences with modernist principles, offering a serene and sophisticated aesthetic for contemporary interiors.
