The Origin of Art Deco Rugs

The turn of the 20th century brought a wave of changes that affected not only the sociopolitical field but all forms of artistic expression. It was then, particularly in the 1920s , when Art Deco – Arts Décoratifs – was born, a trend that combined modernist styles with fine craftsmanship and rich materials. During its heyday, Art Deco represented luxury, glamour, exuberance, and faith in social and technological progress. The style infiltrated the world of carpet manufacturers, leading to the creation of fabulous Art Deco rugs, ready to compliment the modern décor and Art Deco furnishings, unlike antique carpets from the previous era.

The Design of Art Deco Rugs

Art Deco rugs are the embodiment of the modernist progressive thought with the preservation of the finest weaving traditions and centuries-long techniques, providing Deco rugs with a classic and luxurious feel. Art Deco rugs combine the ancient craft with rather contemporary aesthetics, incorporating such iconic design influences as neoclassicism, constructivism, cubism, minimalism, modernism or art nouveau. A new approach to the general appearance of Art Deco rugs – extensive geometricism, perturbation of symmetry, limitation of the once extremely opulent patterns, and brand new color combinations – gave Art Deco rugs the power to even further influence the setting in which Art Deco area rugs appear.

The Characteristic of Art Deco Rugs

In the rug industry, the term Art Deco rugs, or simply Deco rugs, refers to certain European (especially French) and Chinese carpets made in the first half of the 20th century. Although Chinese Art Deco rugs and European Art Deco rugs, especially French Art Deco rugs, belong to the same category and stem from the same trend, they show slightly different features. European Art Deco rugs are leaning towards contemporaneity, experimentation with not only substance but also form, and are more likely to rely on minimalism. On the other hand, Chinese Art Deco rugs, however made to cater for the western tastes, include more traditional motifs and iconic patterns, as well as rich symbolism of traditional Chinese carpet design.
