French Art Deco Design Area Rug, France, Mid 20th Century – Created during a time of invention and creativity, this stunning mid-century art deco rug is a grand exploration of artistic fundamentals and freedoms. Angular tiles stacked over an obscure midnight blue ground form a wild Andean tribal pattern that becomes a canvas to display expressive colors, textures and icons. Dark and light values and warm and cool colors are juxtaposed naturally within the gradient stippling and speckled shading. Monochromatic glyphs with smooth lines create a dazzling effect when placed over the dynamic background. The infinite beauty of color, contrast, line and form are faithfully explored in this vibrant, vivid and vivacious French deco rug.
