This vintage Swedish flat-weave rug, signed by acclaimed textile artist Ingegerd Silow, is a striking example of Scandinavian mid-century design. Woven in a palette of warm, earthy tones—golden ochres, muted browns, soft beiges, and pale blue-grays—the rug features a sophisticated geometric composition with a harmonious sense of symmetry.

At the heart of the design lies a soft checkerboard-like field, populated with abstract floral motifs arranged in a mirrored formation. The blossoms, rendered in creamy white with accents of olive green, burnt orange, and brown, form a subtle cross shape that brings rhythmic energy to the composition. These stylized floral elements are framed by a series of interlocking blocks, their scalloped edges forming a soft border that adds dimension and visual interest.

The finely woven wool offers a durable yet supple texture, showcasing Silow’s mastery of the flat-weave (rölakan) technique. Every detail, from the fringe to the refined use of color, reflects the artisanal craftsmanship and functional elegance emblematic of Swedish textile traditions.

Ideal for modern, Scandinavian, or rustic interiors, this rug combines decorative subtlety with graphic sophistication, making it both a timeless statement piece and a testament to Ingegerd Silow’s legacy in Swedish design.

Showcasing the finest materials and patterns, this design is part of the expansive Doris Leslie Blau Collection, renowned for its rare and unique finds across a wide range of prices.
