Woven in the mid-20th century, this handwoven tapestry-style piece reflects Silow’s hallmark blend of geometric precision and naturalistic warmth. The composition features a symmetrical arrangement of stylized floral motifs in soft hues of ivory, beige, pale rose, lavender, and moss green, set against a sun-drenched golden ochre background. The design radiates around three vertically aligned medallion-like ellipses, flanked by abstract floral sprigs and framed with a striped selvedge and twisted fringe—classic elements of Swedish flat-weave construction. Expertly crafted in wool, the rug is fully reversible, showcasing the artisanry and utility of Swedish rölakan weaving. Its warm color palette and floral abstraction create a gentle, uplifting aesthetic, ideal for modern, bohemian, or Scandinavian 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. See less
