French Deco Rug

Offered by: Doris Leslie Blau Rugs

Description
A rare example of French Art Deco vintage carpet dating back to circa 1945. The rug displays the pinkish ivory field with a bold, geometric and abstract pattern in shades of pink, light orange, salmon, brown and light blue enclosed with an ample geometric border. 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.
