About the Item
Vintage Swedish Flat Woven Rug by Alice Walleback
Size: 4'7" × 6'7" (139 × 200 cm)
This vintage Swedish flat-woven rug by Alice Walleback, is a striking example of mid-century Scandinavian textile design, characterized by its bold geometry and tranquil color palette. The rug features a grid of twelve square motifs, each composed of concentric rectangles that transition from a warm yellow-orange core to layers of green and cool blue, creating a mesmerizing optical effect that recalls the Bauhaus and Op Art movements. Set against a soft gray ground and framed by graduated blue borders, the design achieves a balance of dynamic rhythm and serene symmetry. Handwoven in wool using the traditional Rölakan technique, this piece showcases Walleback’s masterful control of form, proportion, and color blending. The restrained yet vivid palette—ranging from moss green and denim blue to soft aqua and sunlit gold—makes this rug a versatile accent for minimalist, modern, or Nordic-inspired interiors, while the artist’s initials subtly woven in the border affirm its authenticity and collectible value.
A rare piece from the Doris Leslie Blau Collection, this rug exemplifies superior artistry and tradition. Doris Leslie Blau offers a broad and varied pricing spectrum, accommodating collectors and designers across a range of budgets—from modest vintage finds to rare, museum-worthy masterpieces.

Vintage Swedish Flat-Weave Wood Carpet Signed by Ingegerd Silow
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. As with her other Swedish design-world contemporaries, she would have been made acutely aware of her predecessors while she trained at the Konstfack, Stockholm’s famous art and craft school. 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.
