Handmade Vintage French Botanic Design Carpet

Offered by: Doris Leslie Blau Rugs

Description
A mid 19th century French vintage rug, the green field with botehs and red feathery leaves dominated by a central medallion with scrolling tendrils and having a large eagle at the lower end and an M-shape at the upper, all within a lower and upper frame of feathery red and ivory leaves.

European Art Deco rugs – they are essential objects of desire of not only vintage trend followers but all aficionados of beauty and sublime design. There is a good reason for such vast recognition as vintage carpets constitute the core of taste and artistry of the 20th century progressive thought. They are clearly defined by the past century’s celebration of new ideas, modern lifestyle and the Renaissance of all arts which happened about that time. The category of vintage rugs has many faces – there are numerous aspects such as historical period, style, fashion, culture, symbolism and philosophy which add up to form the dazzling array of antique rugs.
