Vintage Swedish flat weave rug signed by Ingegerd Silow BB6567 5'4" × 7'7" $7,000

This fresh and enchanting vintage Swedish flat-woven rug was created by the legendary Ingegerd Silow, whose revolutionary thinking and incredible artistry have largely contributed to the present shape of Scandinavian design. The hand of the master artist and weaver is visible in every inch of this remarkable fabric. Its firm body was meticulously hand-woven of the finest wool according to traditional techniques which allowed the piece to survive until this day in perfect condition. If properly maintained, the vintage rug will serve its owners for generations without any signs of wear or blemish. However, the main strength of the Swedish flat-weave lies in the simplistic yet utterly elegant design, inspired with the wonders of the awe-inspiring Scandinavian nature. The geometricized floral pattern creates a graceful wreath around the main field which is left plain for proper balance. The subtle composition is enclosed within a single chocolate brown border and finished with a lovely fringe at the shorter sides of the rug, which underlines the rustic character of the design. Evocative of early days of spring, the color palette relies on shades of green, including moss, greenery and mint, complemented by off-white, brown and dark slate gray, with invigorating touches of dusty orange and pink. The vintage Swedish flat-weave will have a chance to bring a warm, homely feel to a wide variety of interior décors, from classic to contemporary.
