A charming example of mid-century Scandinavian textile design, this vintage flat-woven rug by Ingegerd Silow captures the refined artistry of Swedish modernism. Woven in the 1950s, the rug showcases Silow’s signature balance of geometry and organic motif, rendered here in a soft, earthy palette of ochre, golden brown, ivory, and subtle accents of pale green and blush. The design centers around a rhythmic arrangement of stylized floral medallions framed by vertical and horizontal lines, suggesting both structure and natural symmetry. The composition is anchored by a grid-like pattern, where each intersecting axis gives rise to blooming circular forms, visually echoing traditional Swedish rosmålning in a modernist idiom. Crafted by hand in wool, this kilim-style rug boasts a flat, durable weave ideal for both decorative and practical use. The warm hues and serene repetition make it a versatile piece, perfect for grounding interiors with a touch of Nordic grace and historical design significance. Signed in the weave, this rug exemplifies Silow's esteemed legacy as one of Sweden’s leading textile artists and a key figure in 20th-century design. 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. See less
