A French Art Deco vintage wool carpet with three-dimensional geometric pattern in beige and red on a brown background enclosed with a solid brown border. Deco rug features geometric patterns, clearly inspired by the ‘composition’ style paintings from the masters like Piet Mondrian and the many French Art Deco masters who, were devoted students of their craft.

Art Deco is a style of visual arts, architecture and design that first appeared in France just before World War I. The Art Deco movement led to a fast evolution of the rug and textile design, among other art forms. Rug design evolved from traditional floral and highly ornamental to a style of angular elegance with geometric, abstract and modern figurative motifs. The design is frequently spare, geometric, and architectural. The rugs created during this period remain elegant and refined to this day.
