Swedish Mid-Century Floral Cream Flatweave Wool Rug Sparreholm – By Ingegerd Silow BB7839 6'4" × 10'0" $20,000

Woven in Sweden during the vintage mid-century period, this Sparreholm flatweave wool rug by Ingegerd Silow belongs to the refined Scandinavian rölakan tradition. Its balanced composition and restrained palette show the designer’s ability to translate folk-inspired ornament into a clean, modern idiom.

A cream-tinged blue ground is organized with quiet precision: a centered geometric floral medallion rises from the middle in ivory, powder pink, slate gray, and muted blue, while repeated lozenge motifs run across the upper and lower borders. The generous negative space keeps the pattern airy, so the design feels architectural rather than busy, and the double framing bands quietly ground the composition.

Handwoven in wool, the flatweave has a crisp, tactile surface that suits both contemporary and vintage interiors. The knotted fringe and disciplined border rhythm reinforce its handcrafted character. This Swedish rug brings softness, structure, and a measured note of color to clean-lined seating areas, bedrooms, or reading rooms, where its mid-century Scandinavian character can read as decorative and serene.

Part of the expansive Doris Leslie Blau collection, this vintage rug reflects the gallery's dedication to preserving exceptional craftsmanship and distinctive design traditions. Its character, patina, and artistry make it a sophisticated addition to thoughtfully curated interiors.
