Art Deco Rug, France, Early 20th Century – This sophisticated French vintage rug depicts an unexpected assortment of stylized animals and primitive canyons that are drawn in a surprisingly modern manner. The concentric composition incorporates an elegant variety of glamorous neutral hues that are paired with graphic linocut strokes and sweeping curves. The perimeter of the field is dotted with an allegoric procession of primitive animals that are separated by deep valleys and towering pillars. Drawn in a primitive yet glamorous way, the soft monochromatic segments and graphic accents produce a textural pattern of dimensional shapes and flattened animal figures that combine primitive artistry and subtle details to recreate a natural setting.
