Warm Nordic Charm: Vintage Swedish Flat-Weave Rug by Ingegerd Silow BB6542 5'5" × 7'8" $8,000
$8,000
A stunning example of mid-century Scandinavian textile artistry, this vintage Swedish flat-weave rug, signed by renowned designer Ingegerd Silow, embodies the warmth, balance, and craftsmanship characteristic of Sweden’s modernist weaving tradition.
Woven in the mid-20th century, the rug features a striking geometric composition arranged in a series of nested borders. The central field is a soft golden wheat tone, subtly variegated to give depth and texture. Surrounding this is a sequence of decorative frames in warm ochres, rust, ivory, and sage green—each adorned with stylized cross and medallion motifs reminiscent of traditional Nordic symbolism.
The outermost border is particularly arresting, with alternating abstract totems in earth tones interspersed with oval medallions, bringing a sense of rhythm and visual interest. Silow’s signature, hand-woven into the corner, confirms this as an authentic piece from one of Sweden’s foremost textile artists.
Crafted in the Rölakan flat-weave technique, this rug is fully reversible and handwoven in wool, offering both durability and timeless aesthetic appeal. The earthy palette and symmetric structure make it a versatile fit for interiors that blend modern minimalism with organic warmth.
Rich in heritage and artistry, this handmade rug exemplifies the high standards of Doris Leslie Blau’s curated pieces. With a wide range of prices, Doris Leslie Blau makes exceptional rugs accessible to collectors and designers alike.
