About the Item

78247 Ingegerd Silow Vintage Swedish Rollakan Rug, 05'06 x 07'09. Woven under the golden light of Scandinavian tradition, this rare “Örbyhus” vintage Swedish rollakan rug by the legendary Ingegerd Silow is a radiant expression of textile mastery. Handwoven in wool and signed with her discreet initials "IS" in the lower corner, this piece is an heirloom of elite provenance—an artifact of design history that bridges the rustic soul of Swedish folk art with the refined sensibilities of modernist interiors. Silow, celebrated for her poetic balance between nature and geometry, imbued each of her designs with a quiet symbolism that resonated with both warmth and sophistication. The Örbyhus design stands as one of her most coveted, embodying a sense of serene abundance and unspoken prestige. The palette of this particular Örbyhus is exceptional—a sun-drenched symphony of honeyed ochres, burnished amber, soft saffron, and creamy wheat tones, punctuated with floral medallions in lilac, periwinkle, pale rose, and daisy white. The design unfolds in harmonious symmetry, anchored by stylized lozenge medallions that ripple across the central axis like reflections on a golden lake. Each motif is expertly balanced, evoking the gentle repetition of nature’s rhythms. The soft transitions of tone suggest the warmth of Scandinavian autumn light as it flickers across pine forests and wheat fields—rooting the rug in place, memory, and the seasons of life. Delicate clusters of floral rosettes—some in sunburst yellow, others in blush pink and lavender—convey the cyclical grace of blooming and renewal. These symbolic blossoms are flanked by thin bands of intricate geometric detailing, reflecting a lineage of centuries-old weaving traditions reimagined through Silow’s distinctly modern gaze. The texture of the flatweave is both robust and refined, allowing the rug to serve as a grounding element in contemporary interiors while maintaining a tactile, handmade charm that cannot be replicated by machine or mimicry. Here, authenticity speaks softly but powerfully. To acquire this exquisite work of art is to step into the circle of connoisseurs who understand that great design transcends function—it tells stories, evokes landscapes, and preserves legacies. This piece is more than decorative; it is emblematic. A visual narrative of harmony, handcrafted excellence, and Swedish cultural identity, it carries the prestige of a signed artwork and the soul of a social good—supporting slow craftsmanship, sustainable materials, and cultural preservation. Whether gracing the floor of a serene modernist home or displayed as a woven tableau, this rug transforms space into sanctum—timeless, luminous, and one-of-a-kind. Designed by Ingegerd Silow. Lower corner signature initials IS. Name: Orbyhus. Orbyhus is a locality situated in Tierp Municipality, Uppsala County, Sweden.
