Doris Leslie Blau Vintage Swedish Flat Woven Rug by Ingegerd Silow

About the Item

Vintage Swedish blue flat woven rug by Ingegerd Silow Size: 5'2" × 8'0" (157 × 243 cm) Crafted by the esteemed Swedish textile designer Ingegerd Silow, this vintage flat-weave rug exemplifies the serene elegance of mid-century Scandinavian design. Woven circa mid-20th century, the rug captures Silow’s signature ability to blend minimalist geometry with a soothing Nordic palette. At the heart of the composition lies a broad turquoise field, subtly variegated to create a sense of depth and quiet movement. Surrounding this field is a repeating stepped motif, rendered in icy blues, soft whites, and slate grays. Each module is punctuated by small diamond squares, anchoring the composition with a rhythmic, architectural balance. The rug's flat-woven construction (often referred to as a Rölakan) showcases the traditional Swedish weaving technique, prized for its durability and reversible nature. The color palette—icy aqua, sea blue, mist gray, and pale ivory—evokes the luminous clarity of northern landscapes, making it a perfect complement to both modernist interiors and more rustic, nature-inspired settings. Measuring 8′ × 5′, this piece is not just a floor covering but a visual meditation on symmetry, color, and restraint—a testament to Silow’s legacy as one of the great figures in Scandinavian textile arts. 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.
