Woven Concepts
This rug was conceived from historical textiles originating in central America, north Africa, central Asia, the middle east, Europe, and the far east. Its remarkable patterns conveyed in bold colors, dictate a new aesthetic for contemporary rugs. Master weavers artfully re-spin and hand-knot the finest remnants of sustainable sari-silk to create this breakthrough. The tensile strength of the sari silk used makes the rugs pliable, smooth, and resilient.
Lavender Oriental Carpets
As the term implies, true Chinese Deco carpets were woven in a short time window, between 1923 and 1931, and in two places: the Chinese capital of Peking (Beijing) and the northeastern city of Tientsin (Tianjin). They were woven in large integrated factories as well as smaller workshops. These carpets were created by American firms for export to the United States. Nichols, Elbrook and Tavshanjian in Tientsin, and Fette in Peking were by far the most active. The Tientsin pieces, almost all in carpet sizes, show thick piles of glossy millspun wool, patterns ranging from Chinese-influenced with vases, leafy branches, seasonal flowers and butterflies, and dragons to wholly abstract, borderless creations with moss and bottle green, scarlet, fuchsia, beige, old gold and various shades of blue, all in unfading, crisp chrome dyes. Many are found still in top condition. The weaves are always moderate to medium, and very regular. There is no uniformity of pattern and most of the surviving carpets are unique.. Colors: taupy-gray/pale cinnamon/blues/beige.
