A compelling example of the style, this antique French carpet beautifully illustrates some of the more important aesthetic principles championed by the Art Deco style.

This carpet shows perhaps the most recognizable qualities of the movement.

Reflecting period influences, this Art Deco rug incorporates a subdued and versatile palette of delicate browns, tans, and soft pinks.
