Mid-20th Century Swedish Neutral Colors Wool Rug by Ingegerd Silow Woven “IS” BB6555 4'4" × 6'6" $8,000

This vintage Swedish flat weave rug by Ingegerd Silow is a graceful embodiment of Scandinavian textile artistry, where structured geometry meets the warmth of folk tradition. Woven in the mid-20th century, the rug displays Silow’s characteristic balance of clarity, symmetry, and subtle decorative rhythm.

The design centers on a soft geometric arrangement of diamonds and stylized floral rosettes, presented in a harmonious palette of golden wheat, warm taupe, flax, ivory, and muted pastel accents. These motifs—rooted in Swedish folk art yet rendered with a minimalist sensibility—create a soothing visual cadence, perfect for both traditional and modern interiors.

Silow’s mastery lies in her ability to evoke both structure and softness. The composition is meticulously organized, yet never rigid, with gentle color shifts and textural variation in the wool enhancing the organic appeal. The handwoven flat weave (Rölakan) construction ensures durability and makes this piece equally suitable as a floor covering or a wall hanging.

The rug is authenticated with Silow’s woven monogram “IS” in the lower corner, a mark of provenance and craftsmanship.
