Vienna Secession Western European Rug BB7641 8'0" × 13'5" $40,000

A vintage hand-knotted wool rug from Austria, circa early 20^th century.

The design is tributary to the Vienna Secession art movement. The pattern on the carpet is symmetrical, with terracotta, dusty-pinks, and aubergine geometric shapes on a cool aqua background, which also serves as a border of sorts. This choice of color palette, in pastel tones, gives this carpet a soothing ambience that may suit both modern and classical interiors.
