About the Item

Vintage Swedish rug by Ingegerd Silow. Size: 6'4" × 10'0" (193 × 304 cm). Color: beige, blue, grey, pink. Designed by the celebrated Swedish textile artist Ingegerd Silow, the “Sparreholm” rug is a quintessential example of mid-century Scandinavian design—celebrated for its simplicity, functionality, and timeless beauty. Woven in the traditional flat-weave (rölakan) technique, this vintage piece showcases Silow's hallmark style: clean lines, soft geometry, and a soothing, balanced palette. At its center, a symmetrical medallion motif composed of serrated lozenge forms in pale rose, soft ivory, dusty blue, and sage green floats within a spacious field of light steel blue. This minimal ornamentation reinforces the rug’s tranquil rhythm, while the border—adorned with a charming, repeating row of stylized tree- or feather-like motifs—offers a playful contrast. The composition is quietly framed by a double band in muted gray-blue, subtly grounding the piece. Rendered in handwoven wool, the rug boasts a fine, tactile texture with visible weft detailing, giving it a sense of artisanal authenticity. The color palette, composed of soft pastels and cool tones, lends itself perfectly to modern, minimalist, or Nordic-inspired interiors. Whether placed in a serene bedroom, light-filled living space, or contemporary gallery setting, the “Sparreholm” rug is more than just a decorative textile—it is a serene expression of Swedish modernism and an enduring tribute to Ingegerd Silow’s legacy. With its unique pattern and refined colors, this vintage rug reflects the impeccable taste of Doris Leslie Blau’s selections. Offering both rare, high-end pieces and more accessible options, Doris Leslie Blau presents rugs in a wide spectrum of prices.
