Vintage Swedish Rug by Ingegerd Silow, Origin: Sweden, Mid-20th Century – The eclectic international rug style of Ingegerd Silow is showcased beautifully in this handsome mid-century vintage rug from Scandinavia. This lively flat-weave rug features a lovely assortment of geometric pastel flowers with sharp right-angle stems that create a larger tile pattern. Undulating borders with fluid Bargello-style contours and contrasting colors frame the field and define the central compartment, which includes three ogival segments with graceful curving edges. Marigold oranges, muted greens and somber purple hues complement the soft neutral flowers and give the composition an international style that is reminiscent of colorful Spanish tiles or Mexico’s fabulous contrasting color palettes. This comely mid-century composition highlights Silow’s vast influences, love of travel and original style, which helped her become a fixture in the world of Scandinavian rugs and design.
