About the Item

Radiating the serenity of Scandinavian design, this vintage flat-woven carpet by Ingegerd Silow exemplifies the iconic simplicity and elegance of Swedish textile artistry. Woven in the mid-20th century, the carpet features a balanced geometric composition centered around a symmetrical floral medallion rendered in soft, neutral hues. A gentle palette of cool blues, warm taupes, creams, and muted charcoal is layered with subtle variation, giving the piece a sense of depth and tactility. The central motif-a rosette of diamond-shaped medallions-is framed by vertical striations in the field, evoking a sense of calm movement. A broad blue border encases the composition, bordered with decorative bands of stylized foliage that echo the central pattern, adding a rhythmic contrast. Woven in the traditional rölakan technique with wool on a cotton foundation, the carpet is both durable and decorative, making it ideal for modern and traditional interiors alike. Silow's signature is subtly integrated into the weave, affirming its provenance and quality. This carpet is a testament to Silow's refined approach to Swedish design-understated yet intentional, decorative yet grounded in function. It would make a stunning addition to any space seeking an infusion of Scandinavian charm and quiet sophistication. With its unique pattern and refined colors, this vintage carpet reflects the impeccable taste of Doris Leslie Blau's selections. Offering both rare, high-end pieces and more accessible options, Doris Leslie Blau presents rugs in a wide spectrum of prices.

By Ingegerd Silow

Located in Paris, FR

Ingegerd Silow (1916-2005) was one of the most prolific and influential Swedish carpet designers of the midcentury. She was part of a second generation of twentieth century Swedish textile designers.

Her training in folk craft is evident in her carpets, which are of the highest quality in terms of their impeccable materials and weaving techniques. Furthermore, her works radiate the warm minimalism...
