22327 T. Art Deco 6'6" x 9'7"
This Art Deco style rug features a bold all-over design of geometric and linear abstractions in cool dark brown against a field of light brown. This is a mid-century wool piece hand-made in the European part of Turkey and it’s clearly influenced by the Art Deco style that originated in Western Europe. 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.
