About the Item
Vintage Swedish Rolakan area rug by Ingegerd Silow
Size: 4'3" × 6'3" (129 × 190 cm)
"Barken," a beautifully handwoven Swedish flatweave rug by Ingegerd Silow, embodies the poetic balance of structure and softness that defines mid-century Scandinavian textile art. Handwoven in the Rölakan technique, the piece features a highly structured yet soft geometric pattern that harmonizes traditional Swedish folk motifs with modernist sensibilities.
The rug’s field is rendered in a muted periwinkle blue, forming a tranquil backdrop for a rhythmic medley of stylized diamonds and stepped medallions. These motifs are arranged in a staggered grid, radiating subtle symmetry. The color palette — a serene mix of dusty blues, pale pinks, soft greys, off-whites, and the occasional warm ochre — evokes the gentle hues of Nordic landscapes and interiors, offering both warmth and restraint.
Silow’s mastery of tonality and geometry is evident in the way the shapes interlock and transition, creating a sense of both order and movement. The design achieves visual depth without any harsh contrast, embodying the Swedish ideal of understated beauty.
Woven from high-quality wool, the texture is smooth yet tactile, with durable craftsmanship suited for both functional use and decorative display. Finished with traditional fringes on the shorter sides and signed in the corner with Silow’s characteristic “IS” monogram, this rug is a collectible example of Scandinavian textile
Rich in heritage and artistry, this handmade rug exemplifies the high standards of Doris Leslie Blau’s curated pieces. With a wide range of prices, Doris Leslie Blau makes exceptional rugs accessible to collectors and designers alike.
