Doris Leslie Blau Collection Art Deco Tibetan Design Handmade Wool, Silk Rug N11191 13'0" × 21'0" $41,000

This monumental modern rug flaunts an Art Deco design, executed in the distinct Jacques Adnet’s style. The piece was meticulously hand-knotted of the finest wool and silk by a proficient artisan in Tibet. Such careful making resulted in the soft and luminous pile as well as resilient and durable structure. Although truly imposing in terms of size, the new carpet seduces with balance and discreet elegance. It is a refined choice to a wide variety of interior arrangements, from classic to futuristic and state-of-the-art. Custom sizes and colors available.

The turn of the 20^th 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 for sale from the previous era.
