The Art Deco movement was characterized by a simplified geometric style that was an answer to the lavish flourishes of the Art Nouveau Movement that came before it. The shapes were often simple, and the colors arranged in a way that gave it movement and direction. Shading within the elements was simple and often only involved a darker and lighter color, as in this piece.

The artist created a rippling effect on the outside, or perhaps, the appearance of looking through an opening of sorts onto a different design. This three dimensional effect is a characteristic of Art Deco pieces. An original Art Deco piece from France in the 1920s is a rare find. This is a piece that was part of a movement that would define style trends throughout the 1920’s and that would continue to influence future movements such as mid-century modern and many of our contemporary design styles.

The colors of the French rug are a characteristic Art Deco palette with earthy browns and bold teals. The design features subtle tone-on-tone highlights that accentuate the angular nature of the design.

This is a rare antique rug for many reasons, and one that deserves a place where it can be appreciated by art historians and aficionados of Art Deco style.
