Doris Leslie Blau Vintage Swedish Flat Woven by Ingegerd Silow

About the Item

Vintage Swedish Flat Woven by Ingegerd Silow Size: 5'5" × 7'8" (165 × 233 cm) Color: Beige, Gray, Green, Pink This enchanting mid-20th century Swedish flat-woven rug by Ingegerd Silow is a delightful expression of Scandinavian modernism rendered through the lens of folk artistry. Known for her sensitive use of color and structured yet lyrical compositions, Silow created rugs that were both timeless and deeply rooted in Swedish textile traditions. The rug features a refined oval medallion in soft rose at its center, set against a silvery blue field that enhances its gentle symmetry. The border is encircled with stylized floral motifs — roses, tulips, and star-shaped blooms — woven in a vibrant palette of pinks, lilacs, creamy ivory, leafy greens, and charcoal. These geometric flowers are arranged with clarity and balance, lending the piece both charm and compositional discipline. The palette is quintessentially Silow: subtle yet saturated, favoring pastels and earth tones with just enough contrast to give definition to the forms. Handwoven in wool, the rug displays a harmonious interplay of texture and color, typical of the Swedish “rya” and “rollakan” weaving traditions. A signed piece, monogrammed "IS" in the corner, this rug is not just a decorative object but a piece of Swedish design history — ideal for collectors or those seeking a soft, statement-making element for modern, vintage, or eclectic interiors. 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.
