European Deco Rug

Offered by: Doris Leslie Blau Rugs

Description
A European Art Deco rug, hand-knotted in the mid-20th century, exemplifies the modernist artists’ departure from traditional forms of art, which they viewed as outdated. This rug is a fine representation of the era, featuring a bold, repeatable all-over abstract design framed by a border with triangular motifs. The composition is rendered in shades of beige, blue, brown, and taupe.

Art Deco is a style of visual arts, architecture and design that first appeared in France just before World War I. The Art Deco movement led to a fast evolution of the rug and textile design, among other art forms. Rug design evolved from traditional floral and highly ornamental to a style of angular elegance with geometric, abstract and modern figurative motifs. The design is frequently spare, geometric, and architectural. The rugs created during this period remain elegant and refined to this day.
