Vintage Scandinavian Geometric Slate Gray Flatweave Wool Rug By Ingegerd Silow Woven “Is” BB6555 4'4" × 6'6" $8,000

This vintage Swedish flatweave rug, woven circa 1950 and signed by Ingegerd Silow, reflects the quiet precision of Scandinavian textile design. Rooted in Sweden’s rölakan tradition, it combines practical handweaving with a measured, architectural sense of order.

A slate gray field is framed by a stepped ivory outline that gives the composition a distinctly modern structure. At the top and bottom, repeating bands of geometric rosettes introduce soft notes of wheat, pale yellow, blush, and muted blue, while the center remains calm and open. The result is a geometric vintage rug that feels balanced, airy, and subtly decorative.

Silow’s restrained palette and crisp layout allow the texture of the flat weave to do much of the visual work, lending the piece a tailored, tactile character. The woven “IS” monogram adds a notable point of authorship, while the understated pattern makes this Scandinavian rug especially suited to interiors that favor clean lines, warmth, and collected detail.
