Vintage Swedish Geometric Soft Beige Flatweave Wool Rug By Ingegerd Silow Signed “Iks” BB4790 6'5" × 9'7" $20,000

This vintage Swedish flat-weave rug, woven circa 1940 and attributed to textile designer Ingegerd Silow, is a signed “IKS” example of Scandinavian modern design. Its low-profile construction and disciplined geometry reflect the clarity and craftsmanship that made Swedish rugs of the period so enduring.

Rather than a traditional medallion composition, the rug unfolds as an allover modular grid of stepped compartments set against a warm brown ground. Soft beige, ivory, wheat, pale yellow, and restrained apricot-blush accents bring a gentle luminosity to the pattern, while the darker framework keeps the design architectural and grounded. The repeat feels rhythmic and orderly, yet never rigid.

Handwoven in wool as a flat weave, it has the crisp texture and practical elegance prized in Scandinavian interiors. The palette and abstract geometry make it especially well suited to spaces that favor clean lines, natural materials, and a quiet mid-century sensibility, adding warmth without visual heaviness.

Sourced from the expansive Doris Leslie Blau collection, this vintage rug exemplifies the gallery's passion for preserving remarkable carpets of enduring beauty. DLB offers a diverse selection of antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs, accommodating collectors and designers across every style and budget.
