About the Item

Vintage Swedish Flat-Weave Rug by Ingegerd Silow Size: 5'6" × 7'8" (167 × 233 cm) This stunning Swedish flat-weave rug is a glowing testament to the genius of Ingegerd Silow, one of Sweden’s most celebrated 20th-century textile artists. Meticulously handwoven in the traditional Rölakan technique, the piece showcases Silow’s iconic fusion of geometric form, subtle rhythm, and radiant yet earthy color palettes. The rug features a captivating and symmetrical layout centered around stylized cross-and-diamond motifs rendered in warm ochre, muted rust, sandy beige, and soft white. These motifs radiate from a golden-yellow ground, forming a strong grid-like composition that blends clarity with warmth. At the heart of the field, larger cruciform medallions repeat in a rhythmic pattern, bordered by a sequence of checkerboard-style square accents. These border motifs introduce delicate touches of mauve and ivory, softening the composition with quiet contrast and enhancing its mid-century charm. The design reflects Silow’s signature style—functional modernism with folkloric warmth—perfectly balanced between architectural order and playful ornamentation. A sun-kissed spectrum of amber, wheat, ochre, soft rose, ivory, and mustard yellow evokes the Nordic countryside at harvest, infusing interiors with an inviting sense of light and calm. The natural wool fibers exhibit a gentle sheen and tonal variation, giving the rug depth and vitality. Woven entirely by hand in wool, the rug is durable, breathable, and reversible—an ideal choice for both aesthetic appreciation and daily utility. The quality of the weave ensures this piece retains its form and color beautifully over time. 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.
