Art Deco Rug, France, Second Quarter of the 20th Century – This French carpet embodies the elegant, streamlined style of the art deco era, and is a fascinating study in vintage rugs. Chic hues of sandy taupe, ecru and celadon are juxtaposed in line, form and surface patterns. Modern influences are exhibited in the open sea-foam field, geometric figures, overlayed shapes and sweeping lines that bookend the composition. The design’s traditional roots are revealed in the strict border-focused layout and careful sense of balance and symmetry created by the mirror-image shapes that occupy adjacent corners. Linear border motifs and tonal color variations enhance the elegant, stylish appearance of this glamorous art deco rug. This phenomenal creation represents a daring, cutting-edge and forward-thinking approach to design that helped shape the 20th century aesthetic and remains exceptionally desirable and attractive today.
