Elegant Mid-Century Swedish Geometric Runner In Warm Tan Flatweave Wool By Ingegerd Silow BB8321 2'9" × 13'3" $13,000

This vintage Swedish runner, woven in the mid-20th century and attributed to Ingegerd Silow, brings Scandinavian flatweave tradition into a long, tailored format. Its warm tan ground sets a calm, earthy base for a lively geometric composition that feels both orderly and expressive.

Across the field, overlapping stepped lozenges and diamond forms create a dense allover rhythm with no formal border hierarchy. Cream, beige, light blue, mustard yellow, rust orange, and brown accents interlock in staggered layers, giving the design a sense of movement without losing its clean, modern balance. The repeated motif reads as abstract yet structured, a hallmark of mid-century Swedish design.

Handwoven in wool with a flatweave construction, the runner has the crisp surface and durable character suited to daily passage. Its restrained palette and graphic pattern make it an elegant choice for hallways, galleries, and other interiors that call for warmth, texture, and architectural clarity.

Curated by Doris Leslie Blau, this vintage rug carries the distinct character and artisanal soul that the gallery has championed for decades. With an unrivaled selection spanning eras, origins, and price points, Doris Leslie Blau continues to make fine carpet art accessible to designers and collectors worldwide.
