Mid-20th Century Swedish Brown, Yellow Flat-Weave Rug Signed by Ingegerd Silow

Offered by: Doris Leslie Blau Rugs

Description
Ingegerd Silow is considered to be one of the most influential figures in Swedish carpet making and for a good reason. Not only was she a talented weaver, but also a great lover of local art. Her legacy lives on in exquisite Scandinavian style rugs such as this one. Woven circa 1950, the carpet has Silow's signature in the corner like a badge of honor. From color to pattern, every single one of its elements seems to be in a perfect balance with each other. The design features a very interesting mix - while the central field is rather empty with just a few small crosses, the border immediately draws the eye with its rich decorations. It is further emphasized by a delicate fringe placed at the top and bottom edge. The color palette is composed of warm, earthy tones of brown and beige with hints of black and orange.
