Oversized Arvika Art Deco Yellow, Brown and Beige Wool Rug N11817 12'8" × 22'5" $38,000

This absolutely stunning modern tile and carpet looks as if it was taken straight from the Roaring Twenties. Elegant and whimsical, it immediately draws the attention with its design. A series of circles surrounds a vertical line running through the middle of the carpet Art Deco rug. Other lines, carefully hidden, form a shape of an x while small dots on the right and left side give this composition a bit of playfulness. The color palette contains mostly sunny shades of beige, orange and brown, which not only help to bring out the pattern, but also naturally illuminate it.
