Swedish Vintage Geometric Warm Tan Flatweave Wool Rug By Ingegerd Silow BB8379 5'3" × 8'0" $14,000

This vintage Swedish flatweave rug by Ingegerd Silow comes from the mid-century Scandinavian weaving tradition, where disciplined geometry and handwoven tactility meet. Woven in the rölakan technique, it has the sturdy, reversible character prized in Swedish textile art and the quiet authority of a well-made wool flatweave.

Its field is organized as a vertical sequence of oversized stepped lozenges in warm tan and golden yellow, each framed by darker brown edges that create a gentle gradation across the surface. At the center of every repeat, compact white and charcoal cross motifs bring a folk-art clarity, while narrow horizontal bands keep the composition balanced and contained.

The palette stays earthy and grounded—warm tan, biscuit, brown, ivory, and soft gray—making the rug easy to place in modern, rustic, or minimalist rooms. Fringe at both ends and the small woven IS monogram reinforce its handmade identity, while the geometry gives the piece a calm architectural rhythm.

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.
