Deco Design Rug N11556 9'0" × 12'0" $20,000

Art Deco is a trend that came up in the first half of the 20th century and since then has been concentrated on saturating utilitarian objects with decorative features. However, at the time of its birth the aesthetics of Art Deco greatly differed from what had been previously considered to be fine art. Instead of focusing on opulent, intricate foliage and general abundance, the new movement drew from urbanization and technical development, and oscillated around minimalism. This chic Deco-inspired rug is a prime example of how simple geometric forms may result in the upmost elegance. Its abstract field, in which various geometric objects, such as arrows, rectangles or ovals emerge from the tangle of shades and shapes, is reminiscent of a modernist painting. The color palette, created of cool light and dark slate gray hues that are brighten up by warm beige, constitutes a balanced and pleasant-to-the-eye composition. The rug is pleasant to hands and feet in equal measure due to its masterful execution. It was thoroughly hand-knotted of the finest wool in accordance with old and refined weaving techniques by a skilled artisan. Such wonderful carpet will be a perfect addition to any contemporary interior, ready to serve its owners for many generations.
