Timeless Vintage Scandinavian Geometric Ivory Flatweave Wool Rug Signed By Ingegerd Silow BB8964 5'4" × 8'1" $10,000

This vintage Swedish flat-weave wool rug, designed by Ingegerd Silow circa 1955, reflects the disciplined elegance of mid-century Scandinavian weaving. Its ivory ground is organized into horizontal registers of stepped diamond and cross motifs, with small scattered crosses marking the open field and a woven signature tucked into the corner.

Silow’s composition pairs warm camel and brown outlines with softened notes of pale blue, muted green, and yellow, creating a palette that feels gentle rather than bright. The repeated geometric units have a measured, almost architectural cadence, while the subtle variations in color keep the surface lively and hand-made. Narrow dark bands and minimal border definition reinforce the rug’s clean, modern character.

Because the design is airy and balanced, it sits beautifully in Scandinavian Modern interiors, yet it also brings structure to eclectic rooms that need a graphic but understated anchor. The flat-weave construction keeps the profile crisp and practical, making this vintage Swedish rug as usable as it is collectible.

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.
