Swedish Flat Woven Rug by Ingegerd Silow BB8379 5'3" × 8'0" $12,000

This exquisite vintage Swedish flat-weave rug by Ingegerd Silow exemplifies the timeless elegance and artisanal craftsmanship of mid-20th century Scandinavian design. Woven in the 1950s, the piece features a sophisticated geometric composition rooted in symmetry and balance. A warm, earthy palette of ochre, caramel, wheat, and muted indigo lends the rug a natural warmth and versatility, perfectly suited for both traditional and contemporary interiors.

At the heart of the composition lies a series of stylized eight-pointed floral medallions in navy and ivory, linked along a central axis that divides the golden field. These medallions are flanked by stepped motifs and rhythmic vertical accents that subtly echo kilim patterns, reinforcing the Scandinavian interpretation of folk art traditions. Framing the rug is a beautifully articulated border in tonal browns and grays, ending in neatly finished fringes that enhance the handmade character of the piece.

Crafted in the traditional Swedish “rölakan” flat-weave technique, the rug boasts a dense, durable texture with reversible usability. The initials “IS” woven into the corner authenticate Silow’s authorship, marking it as a collectible piece of Swedish textile history. This rug is more than a floor covering—it is a statement of quiet modernism and a tribute to the golden age of Swedish textile design.

With its unique pattern and refined colors, this vintage rug reflects the impeccable taste of Doris Leslie Blau’s selections. Offering both rare, high-end pieces and more accessible options, Doris Leslie Blau presents rugs in a wide spectrum of prices.
