Here is an absolutely delightful mid-century modern Scandinavian rug. a piece woven in Sweden, with a composition attributed to the celebrated Belgian surrealist painter, Rene Magritte. A giant of the mid-century Surrealism school of art, Magritte’s body of work remains immediately recognizable today, especially his paintings of traditionally dressed men, in suits and bowler caps, whose faces are obscured by floating green apples or other random items. These figures are often presented in impossible or outlandish settings, the absurdism and surrealism of which challenge the observer’s preconceived notions of what is to be expected in a painting, and what is not to be expected. This delightful vintage carpet works on very much the same level, its masterful composition begins a series of questions that may or may not have answers. At the center of the rug is a figure that very clearly suggests a reclined, nude woman, with wide patches of whites and plums making up her body. This is, however, the most concrete element of the work, with other colors arranged into unorthodox geometric shapes, stacked and arranged in what appears to be random. or at least not immediately apparent. order. The result is an explosive dynamism that pulls the observer ever closer in. A beautiful and intriguing mid-century rug, this Swedish rug designed by the great Magritte is a delightful composition of the highest order.

Vintage One-of-a-Kind Rectangle 4'6" X 6'3" Hand Knotted Area Rug

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.
