Vintage Swedish Flat Woven by Ingegerd Silow BB8320 4'6" × 6'7" $6,000

This vintage Swedish flat-weave rug, designed by renowned textile artist Ingegerd Silow, is a quintessential example of Scandinavian mid-century craftsmanship and aesthetic refinement. Measuring 7 feet by 5 feet, the piece combines balanced geometry with a soothing color palette to create a timeless textile work of art.

The composition centers around a soft blue field bordered by a delicate medallion-like pattern composed of stepped diamonds and circular floral motifs. Rendered in gentle shades of periwinkle, ivory, lavender, butter yellow, and soft green, these shapes form a rhythmic, symmetrical frame that draws the eye inward to the tranquil monochrome center. The pixelated edging of the motifs and the subtle color gradations evoke a woven watercolor effect, enhancing the textile’s handcrafted charm.

Woven in the rolakan technique, a traditional Swedish flat-weaving method, the rug is made from high-quality wool, known for its durability and tactile warmth. The texture is tight yet supple, making it suitable for both display and functional use.

With its serene palette and modern folkloric design, this rug is ideal for interiors that appreciate Nordic simplicity, organic harmony, and artistic integrity. Whether placed in a contemporary living room or a vintage-inspired study, it serves as both a functional floor covering and a statement of Scandinavian design heritage.

Rich in heritage and artistry, this handmade rug exemplifies the high standards of Doris Leslie Blau’s curated pieces. With a wide range of prices, Doris Leslie Blau makes exceptional rugs accessible to collectors and designers alike.
