This charming vintage Swedish flat weave rug is a vibrant celebration of Scandinavian textile artistry, designed by the renowned Swedish weaver and designer Ingegerd Silow (1916–2005). Known for her masterful integration of folk motifs with modernist sensibilities, Silow’s work captures the warmth and optimism characteristic of mid-20th-century Swedish design.

This particular piece bursts with life in a bold floral and fruit composition, rendered in a joyful palette of bright pinks, citrus yellows, grassy greens, cool blues, and deep reds. The rug’s pixelated botanical motifs—ranging from blooming roses and berries to stylized gourds—are arranged in a painterly fashion, evoking both natural abundance and cheerful domesticity. The flat weave technique, or rölakan, employed here is a hallmark of traditional Swedish craftsmanship, prized for its durability and detailed pattern execution.

Both ends of the rug are finished with hand-knotted fringe, adding a soft, tactile border to the vibrant design. Woven in wool, the rug retains a plush texture and rich coloration, ideal for wall hanging, floor use, or as a striking decorative textile in any modern or eclectic interior.

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.
