Doris Leslie Blau Vintage Swedish Flat Woven Rug by Ingegerd Silow

About the Item

Vintage Swedish Flat Woven Rug by Ingegerd Silow Size: 4'5" × 6'3" (134 × 190 cm) This charming Swedish flat weave rug, designed by renowned textile artist Ingegerd Silow, embodies the mid-century Scandinavian aesthetic with its harmonious blend of color, symmetry, and geometric floral abstraction. At the heart of the composition lies a radiant central medallion formed by stylized flowers in a balanced, cruciform arrangement. Surrounding this focal point, the design unfolds across a field of soft, fresh greens in graduated tonal blocks, creating a glowing, serene background. Subtle gradation and careful spacing give the rug depth and dimension despite its flat weave. The palette is a signature Silow harmony—earthy oranges and golden yellows, muted peach, blush pink, dove grey, and creamy white—all grounded by accents of cool green and grey-blue. The flowers themselves are abstracted into angular, pixelated forms that echo traditional Swedish motifs while giving a nod to modernist design. Vertical dotted lines flank the central field, adding visual rhythm and structure, while rows of stylized blossoms along the shorter ends form a border effect without enclosing the field—lending openness and fluidity to the layout. Handwoven in wool, this rug offers both visual softness and durability, making it as suitable for modern interiors as it is collectible as a piece of Scandinavian design history. A refined example of Silow’s artistry, it captures the optimism, restraint, and elegant clarity of mid-century Swedish textile design. Showcasing the finest materials and patterns, this design is part of the expansive Doris Leslie Blau collection, renowned for its rare and unique finds across a wide range of prices.
