About the Item
Doris Leslie Blau Swedish Flat Woven Rug by Ingegerd Silow
Circa: 1952
Size: 4'6" × 6'8" (137 × 203 cm)
Age: Vintage
Color: Beige, Gray, Pink
Origin: Sweden
This exceptional mid-century Swedish flat weave rug by Ingegerd Silow presents a masterful balance of geometric precision and Scandinavian charm. Woven in the 1950s, the design captures Silow's hallmark style—rooted in folk tradition, yet distinctly modern in its stylization and color palette.
The composition features a rhythmic array of large, symmetrical eight-pointed stars and stepped lozenges, rendered in delicate tones of rose pink, blush, dusty lilac, terracotta, ochre, ivory, and charcoal. These motifs alternate across the field in a regular, tile-like pattern that is both structured and visually soothing. The soft, pastel base tones are anchored by stronger accents of rust and brown, creating contrast while maintaining harmony.
Each medallion is framed by small cross-like and stepped motifs, evoking traditional Swedish symbolism while providing a sense of visual balance. The interplay of symmetrical forms and vertical striping within the stars enhances the textural richness of the weave. Subtle shading and variegation in the yarn give the rug a tactile, artisanal feel—typical of handwoven Swedish textiles from this era.
Crafted in wool using the flat weave technique (also known as rollakan), the rug is both durable and reversible. Its medium size (approximately 7 x 5 ft) makes it ideal for use in a living area, reading nook, or bedroom where its cheerful hues and timeless design can shine.
A signature "IS" monogram woven into the corner authenticates this piece as the work of Ingegerd Silow, one of Sweden’s most influential mid-century textile designers. This rug is not only a beautiful decorative object but also a collectible piece of Scandinavian design history.
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.
