About the Item
Midcentury Swedish flat woven rug by Ingegerd Silow
Size: 5'4" × 7'7" (162 × 231 cm)
A masterclass in modernist Scandinavian design, this vintage Swedish flat-woven rug, titled “Opal”, is the work of celebrated textile artist Brita Svefors. Handwoven in Sweden during the mid-20th century, the rug is a superb example of Rölakan craftsmanship, embodying both the functional ethos and aesthetic clarity of the Swedish modern movement.
The composition features a field of softly graduated pastel green, sage, and beige hues, arranged in a sophisticated diamond lattice pattern that subtly shifts in tone across the surface. This precise geometry, balanced by gently mottled textures and tonal variations, evokes the natural luster and layered facets of the rug’s namesake gemstone, opal. The central field opens into a series of nested diamonds, bordered by a saturated green edge and delicate cream fringe, providing a strong but harmonious visual anchor.
Woven in pure wool, the rug carries a dual sense of resilience and warmth, with a reversible weave that enhances both its utility and longevity. The intricate craftsmanship is underscored by Svefors' signature on the corner, a mark of authenticity and quality.
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.
