This antique Sultanabad rug was woven during the late 19th century and features a traditional rust color palette as well as natural-inspired design elements. The most striking and vibrant aspect of this extra-large oversized rug is the bright rust color tone that is present in the interior design of the central field. The curving vine and leaf-inspired designs stand out against this rust color due to their creamy ivory and fresh green tones. These curving lines draw the eye along the rug, creating an eye-catching centerpiece that is added to by the presence of beautiful floral elements. The border of this magnificent antique rug is a darker color, making the cream-colored lines stand out in a bold and eye-catching way against this rich dark ground. The patterns in the border of this rust-colored Sultanabad rug are natural-inspired elements as well, with shapes reminiscent of leaves or feathers making their home among small flowers and lighter-colored vines. On either side of the border with the dark ground, there are two smaller stripes which each feature a pattern of their own. The addition of these secondary borders gives the rust-colored Sultanabad rug a dynamic feel as well as making it look extremely elegant. The two patterns within this antique oriental rug work together beautifully to create a stunningly elegant work of art.
Antique Kashan rugs are among the very finest rugs and carpets. Kashan was a center of silk production since Safavid times and some of the best classical Persian silk rugs have been attributed to Kashan. At the end of the nineteenth century, the weavers there began to produce high-quality rugs and carpets as well, which continued the high standards of design and technique established in the classical era. The very best antique Kashan rugs are known as Motashem Kashan. They often have medallion designs, but all-over Kashan carpets are not uncommon. The palette can be deep and rich in the classical tradition, or it can utilize softer hues appropriate to modern decor. Though Kashan is now removed from the commercial trade route of Persia, it used to be the largest city in the northwest, and virtually all traffic between Esfahn and the east passed through it. Because of this important location, Kashan became a popular stop on a bustling trade route during the Safavid Era. In modern times, nearby mountain ranges prohibit trucks from traveling the route that caravans had so often ventured. During this era in which carpet weaving flourished in Persia, Kashan developed a reputation as one of the finest weaving centers of the East.

Here is a truly unique antique tapestry - an antique tapestry that was woven in the United States of America around the turn of the twentieth century. While the art of tapestry weaving is a centuries-old tradition in Europe, it is a craft that has only rarely been practiced in the USA. This is one of the things that makes this amazing antique tapestry a truly magnificent example. Signed with a subtle “B NY” near the lower left-hand portion of the composition, this antique textile features a beautiful, classical depiction of a garden, with a comely building of pink standing slightly off-center in the background. The richness of the detail here is difficult to overstate: Impeccably woven trees and flowers dominate the piece, but everything that has been included in the composition is also precisely drawn. The overall effect that this antique tapestry achieves is one of deep and lingering beauty. It superficially resembles a painting but bears all of the hallmarks of an expertly woven tapestry. A unique and beautiful work of art, this antique tapestry from the turn of the century America is a miraculous example.

This mid-century vintage French European deco rug is a reproduction of a rare Picasso design titled “La Serrure.” Rendered in shades of black, green, and red, the design (translating as “The Lock”) is from the edition of three published by Edition Cuttoli and Galerie Lucie Weill in Paris. Woven by Marie Cuttoli, who has translated to textile the works of such artists as Poliakoff, Klee, and Matisse, this thick woven wool antique carpet is a striking work of art. Pablo Picasso, the Spanish painter, sculptor, printmaker, ceramicist, stage designer, poet, and playwright is inarguably one of the greatest and most influential artists of the 20th century, as well as the co-founder of the Cubist movement. The anxieties and tribulations of modernity that touched so many of his works can be glimpsed here, in the mysterious dark figure seen approaching through a keyhole. Doris Leslie Blau is proud to have an incredibly vast collection of antique carpets and vintage rugs for sale which will please the eyes and the hands of even the most demanding connoisseurs. 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.
