Authentic French Art Deco Orange Handmade Wool Rug

Offered by: Doris Leslie Blau Rugs

Description
This circa-1940 vintage French Deco European Art Deco rug features an all-over design of geometric and linear abstractions in hues of orange, salmon and beige, with sharp brown lines punctuating the minimalism of the antique carpet. The overall effect is a stark Deco statement in textile form. European Art Deco 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 carpets in particular. Decorative arts of this period, sometimes known as the Machine Age, are characterized by a streamlined appearance.
