Modern Deco Rug N12578 12'0" × 16'10" $19,000

A modern Art Deco inspired rug hand knotted out of wool. The design displays bold, irregular blocks, triangles and other shapes with a large diamond in the center in contrasting colors of off-white, beige, gray, lavender, pink and yellow. This contemporary geometric carpet is an exemplary choice for modern projects welcoming an Art Deco style.

Art Deco rugs combine the ancient craft with rather contemporary aesthetics, incorporating such iconic design influences as neoclassicism, cubism, minimalism, modernism or art nouveau. A new approach to the general appearance of carpets – extensive geometric design, perturbation of symmetry, limitation of the once extremely opulent patterns, and brand new color combinations – gave Art Deco modern rugs the power to even further influence the setting in which they appear.

Doris Leslie Blau carries an exceptional collection of original modern rugs in many styles and materials. Contemporary hand-made rugs are a bridge throughout history, they are the fruit of the constant evolution of the weaving craft that has accompanied men since the dawn of civilization.
