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.

Beautiful Room Size Vintage French Kilim Rug by Artist Antonin Kybal, Rug Type: French Rugs, Circa date: Mid 20th Century. Unlike many art deco rugs, this elegant surface uses whimsically curving and moving lines to draw attention from one section of interest on the French rug to the next. The careful placement of elements creates a unique degree of asymmetry, resulting in a casual arrangement with shapes that still appear to be chosen in a specific order. The vintage rugs lines are divided into black and sage green movements to break up the space even further, and the colors within add certain contrast to the beige background itself. Vibrant red and glowing yellow are selected at key sections around the lines to fill in the spaces made where the lines cross. These spaces, within the flat woven Kilim rug, take on a life of their own, and viewers are taken on a journey through the various twists and turns encountered where the colors and lines meet.

Hand-knotted in wool and originating from Turkey circa 1950-1960, this 3x4 vintage Tulu rug is an extremely rare piece like so few of its provenance. On the Design: Tulus are some of the most sought-after high-pile and shag rugs, often mentioned in the same breath as Greek Flokati and Moroccan rugs for their own unique take on a lush, comfortable look and feel. This vintage piece is among the family of Tulus with minimalist medallion patterns, as seen in the rich pink and gold atop beige tones. Admirers of the craft may note that the medallions are clearly inspired by archaic tribal motifs, most closely resembling the ram’s horn motif, though they share some qualities with other symbols of fertility, jewelry, and similar nomadic cultural meanings. With a great size and vast design applications therein, it is very cozy and livable above all, with just a touch of personality.Condition: This vintage Tulu rug further enjoys good condition for its age and origin, and is very rare for its provenance.
By establishing clear and rigid lines of motion, decorators can elegantly establish this French rug in a variety of environments to break up space and draw attention. This is particularly evident in the way the vintage rug angular forms are presented. Several straight lines move from one section of the rug to the next, crossing over each other to create smaller units of space.
A wool kilim rug, hand-woven in Turkey in the 1930s. The all-over tribal design with ample geometric shapes is rendered in earthy shades of beige, ivory, rust, and navy.
