Art Deco Design Green Handmade Wool Carpet

Offered by: Doris Leslie Blau Rugs

Description
This circa-1940 vintage Art Deco antique carpet features an all-over design of floral abstractions and geometric motifs in green, yellow and brown. The stylized, abstract flowers add to the minimalist feel that is an essential feature of the Deco movement that this vintage carpet belongs to. European Art Deco rug owes its name to the first major exhibition of decorative arts to be held after the First World War: L’Exposition Internationale des Arts Decoratifs et Industriels Modernes held in Paris in 1925.

The undeniable elegance of the custom at the event has served as inspiration for interior designers the world over, delivering a dramatic change of style to furnishings in general, and early 20th century Vintage oriental rugs and carpetsin particular. Decorative arts of this period, sometimes known as the Machine Age, are characterized by a streamlined appearance.

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.
