Ingegerd Silow was a well known Swedish textile designer who was often commissioned by leading textile companies to design flat weave rugs (rolakan). Her vintage rugs were highly sought after, not only in Sweden but all over the world. Her rugs used simple geometric shapes and earthy colors to create innovative mid-20th-century designs.
This exquisite vintage Scandinavian rug in greens, browns, and ivories uses a star pattern that is found universally in many different cultures. This beautiful Swedish rug is carefully balanced in color and design, with motifs arranged symmetrically both horizontally and vertically. This kilim rug is crafted in a way that gives it a three-dimensional quality. It appears that the edge components are in the foreground, with the larger green diamonds and floral patterns in the middle. The star pattern appears to be in the background this gives the design depth and texture.
The focal point of the design is a central flower motif that forms the foundation for the rest of the design that branches out from it. The artist used hues of lighter tones, mid-tones, and dark tones to masterfully create highlight and shadow. While the concept of the design is simple the manner in which was carried out makes it a true work of art from a master weaver.

It has a simple, primitive quality that will complement both traditional and contemporary designs. It would be an excellent addition to a minimalist design that reflects the colors found in the natural world. It is a versatile piece that sparks the imagination of any designer.
