Scandinavian Mid-Century Geometric Ivory Flatweave Wool Carpet By Ingegerd Silow BB8384 4'5" × 6'6" $9,000

This vintage Swedish flatweave wool carpet by Ingegerd Silow, woven in the mid-20th century, reflects the clarity of Scandinavian textile design and the disciplined structure of the rölakan tradition.

An open ivory-centered field is softly striated in pale blue, creating a calm backdrop for the compact diamond medallion at the center. The motif is built from small lozenges in ivory, charcoal, slate blue, and muted taupe, with dark outlining that sharpens the geometry without disturbing the airy feel. Narrow framed bands and repeated diamonds at the ends give the composition balance and rhythm.

The palette feels cool and restrained, yet the wool surface adds warmth and texture, making the piece easy to place in modern, minimalist, or Scandinavian-inspired rooms. Its flatwoven construction keeps the profile crisp and practical, while Silow’s measured approach to pattern lends the carpet a collected, architectural presence. The ivory fringe and softened border edges underline its handmade character, allowing it to read as both decorative and understated.
