Swedish Vintage Tribal Light Gray Flatweave Wool Rug By Ingegerd Silow BB8307 4'7" × 6'9" $8,000

This vintage Swedish flatweave wool rug by Ingegerd Silow reflects the refined Scandinavian weaving tradition of the mid-20th century. Its balanced composition and disciplined geometry show the designer’s ability to translate tribal influences into a distinctly modern idiom.

The field is organized around stacked oval and diamond-like forms in light gray, pale blue, and soft lavender, each surrounded by stepped bands of deeper blue that give the pattern a strong architectural edge. Small floral rosettes in ivory and charcoal punctuate the center of each medallion, while narrow brown bars introduce a subtle, earthy counterpoint. A restrained border and open negative space keep the design clean and legible.

Woven in flatweave technique, the rug has the crisp texture and practical versatility that make Swedish textiles so enduring. Its cool palette and rhythmic repeat suit contemporary, modernist, and eclectic interiors alike, bringing quiet structure, visual movement, and a thoughtful sense of Nordic design heritage.

Sourced from the expansive Doris Leslie Blau collection, this vintage rug exemplifies the gallery's passion for preserving remarkable carpets of enduring beauty.
