This 13x14 antique Art Deco rug is a rare and exceptional new addition to Rug & Kilim’s collection—a gorgeous early Dutch find of the movement of a versatile square size and particularly grand, large-scale medallion—made with hand-knotted wool and believed to originate from the Netherlands circa 1900-1920. On the Design: Admirers of the craft may appreciate this transitional rug among the works of a special workshop among early 20th-century reimaginings of the Art Nouveau design sensibility, as well as a uniquely pastoral, French Country piece found in this weaving tradition. The medallion's scalloped perimeter flows with organic grace, its undulating edges suggesting water ripples or cloud formations that dissolve rigid geometric boundaries. The vibrant colorway is one of the most delicious elements here, where a sage green tone is favored in the field. Further, an atypical central medallion surrounded by floral patterns and cartouches flourish in blue, gold, red, brown and cream tones. Keen eyes for detail may further admire a litany of Rococo-inspired motifs in the patterns at play.Altogether it’s a piece as deeply personal in its subtext as it is in the details and beauties that distinguish it in our craft—both a masterpiece and a true collector’s rug, teeming with history and culture. This square rug's spacious size further makes it ideal for formal salons or gallery spaces where its flowing, regal forms create dramatic spatial anchoring while celebrating the period's revolutionary departure from Victorian convention.Condition:This antique Art Deco rug is in good condition for its age and origin, following minor restoration by our in-house master weavers.
