Swedish Vintage Geometric Ivory Flatweave Wool Rug By Ingegerd Silow BB8319 5'8" × 8'0" $9,000

This vintage Swedish flatweave wool rug by Ingegerd Silow, woven in the Scandinavian tradition, combines a calm ivory ground with a cool blue interior and a restrained geometric border. Its vintage date and handmade construction give it the quiet clarity associated with mid-century Swedish textiles, where utility and decorative order meet.

The composition is intentionally open: a largely solid center in softly variegated denim and sky tones is framed by a pale border punctuated with small, evenly spaced motifs in slate gray, light blue, and subtle lavender. A deeper blue outer edge and the light fringe strengthen the rug’s tailored, architectural feel, while the generous negative space keeps the design airy.

Rendered in wool as a flatweave, the piece offers a low-profile texture well suited to Scandinavian, modern, or softly contemporary interiors. It brings pattern without heaviness, making it especially effective as a grounded backdrop for natural wood, crisp upholstery, and clean-lined furnishings.

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.
