Doris Leslie Blau Vintage Swedish Flat-Weave Rug by Ingegerd Silow

About the Item

Vintage Swedish Flat-Weave Rug by Ingegerd Silow Size: 6'6" × 9'5" (198 × 287 cm). This graceful vintage Swedish flat-weave rug designed by Ingegerd Silow, one of the most respected figures in 20th-century Scandinavian textile design, reflects the elegant balance between functionality and decorative artistry. Woven in the mid-century period, this piece exemplifies the Swedish tradition of refined minimalism infused with subtle, rhythmic patterning. The rug features a sophisticated palette of soft golden ochres, sandy beiges, muted grays, and delicate pastel accents including pale mint and lavender. The composition is centered around a floating cluster of cross-like geometric medallions enclosed within a stepped lozenge form, echoed by a glowing golden field that creates a gentle sense of radiance from the center outward. On each end, the motif expands into scalloped, floral-like arrangements anchored by a structured grid of contrasting colors, lending balance and symmetry. Expertly handwoven in a Rölakan flat-weave technique using high-quality wool, the texture is both robust and inviting. The design displays Silow's signature use of abstraction and folkloric influence, fusing traditional Swedish craft with a modernist sensitivity. Ideal for interiors seeking warmth and quiet sophistication, this rug embodies the harmony and craftsmanship that define Scandinavian mid-century textiles. It is not only a decorative element but a cultural artifact, rooted in the legacy of Swedish design. A rare piece from the Doris Leslie Blau Collection, this rug exemplifies superior artistry and tradition. Doris Leslie Blau offers a broad and varied pricing spectrum, accommodating collectors and designers across a range of budgets—from modest vintage finds to rare, museum-worthy masterpieces.
