Swedish Mid-Century Geometric Light Gray Flatweave Wool Carpet By Ingegerd Silow BB7885 6'5" × 9'6" $14,000

This vintage Swedish flatweave wool rug by Ingegerd Silow belongs to the mid-century Scandinavian weaving tradition, where structure, color, and craft were given equal weight. Its low-profile construction and crisp graphic language make it a refined example of Swedish modern textile design.

The composition unfolds across a cool blue ground, shifting from pale sky tones to deeper denim and slate. At the center, light gray lozenges and stepped bands form a disciplined vertical rhythm, while charcoal accents sharpen the edges of the design. Smaller blossom-like motifs in white, mint, soft yellow, and blush add a delicate folk-art touch without softening the rug’s geometric clarity.

Silow’s “IS” monogram quietly marks the piece as a designed work, not merely a decorative textile. The flatwoven wool surface gives it both visual lightness and practical durability, while the borderless layout and fringed ends enhance its relaxed, modern character. It is well suited to interiors that call for a crafted Scandinavian accent with enough pattern to anchor clean-lined furnishings.

Curated by Doris Leslie Blau, this vintage rug carries the distinct character and artisanal soul that the gallery has championed for decades. With an unrivaled selection spanning eras, origins, and price points, Doris Leslie Blau continues to make fine carpet art accessible to designers and collectors worldwide.
