Doris Leslie Blau Vintage Swedish Flat Weave Rug by Ingegerd Silow

About the Item

Vintage Swedish Flat Woven by Ingegerd Silow Size: 5'5" × 8'2" (165 × 248 cm) This exceptional flat-woven Swedish rug by renowned textile artist Ingegerd Silow reflects the geometric elegance and natural color sensibility that define the best of Scandinavian modernist design. Executed in a soothing palette of forest greens, muted sage, soft ivory, and earth browns, the composition is both structured and organic. The rug's layout features three prominent central medallions, each formed by stepped lozenge shapes enclosing stylized floral motifs. The blossoms are rendered in dark indigo and ivory, evoking a traditional Scandinavian snowflake pattern, and are symmetrically placed along the rug’s axis to create a rhythmic, calming effect. Complementary motifs on the border, including small cross-like blossoms, create a sense of continuity and harmony. Silow's use of tonal gradation gives the flat-weave a subtle depth, enhancing the handwoven texture. Horizontal elements, such as parallel stripe bands and linear borders, provide balance and architectural clarity to the composition. Handwoven in wool, this rug exemplifies Silow's mastery in transforming folk-art motifs into modernist textile expressions. Its palette and pattern make it a versatile piece for interiors ranging from mid-century modern to contemporary minimalist, or any space that values the warmth and craftsmanship of vintage Scandinavian design. 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.
