This exquisite Kuban mat showcases an exceptional allover pattern of fenestrated camel brown lozenges set over a rich chocolaty background. The simplistic repeating pattern creates a graphic visage with its neutral color scheme and warm earth-tone hues. Subtle variations in the proportions of each geometric lozenge create corresponding variations in the counterchange background, which forms a stately latticework pattern of meandering chocolaty brown paths. This timeless example of African handicraft techniques is richly cultural yet graphic and inherently modern. Paul Klee, Pablo Picasso and Henri Matisse are among the prominent European modern artists who admired Kuba cloths and drew inspiration from the stark geometric patterns and dramatic modern lines depicted in these individual textiles.

This solid blue vintage French Modernist area rug is a bold statement representative of a definitive and daring art movement. The social upheaval and industrialization changes of the 20th century spawned an abstract, innovative form of art that inspired both fashion and home decor. The simple yet daring look of this vintage carpet is evocative of some of the greatest contemporary works of modernist art, from Kazimir Malevich to Barnett Newman (think "Black Square" or the primeval "Onement VI" on display at Sotheby's in New York). In France, avant-garde fashion designers such as Pierre Cardin contributed their innovative style to textiles as well. Decorative arts of the European Deco period, sometimes known as the Machine Age, are characterized by a streamlined appearance; this vintage French European deco rug is representative of mid-century modern design. 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.
This antique Ottoman textile, is more like a beautiful work of ancient textile art than anything else. The beautiful array of warm colors and against the soft cream background color creates a soft and welcoming juxtaposition. The feel as if the motifs are whispering for one to come closer, to examine, to feel. It speaks and says, “Someone, over 300 years ago, made me with their own two hands.” If one answers the call and looks closely, it is easy to see the tell tale signs of a hand-crafted antique Ottoman embroidery textile. Each line is slightly off true. Each figure, from the flowers to the paisley design motifs, are in and of themselves quite asymmetrical and just a little bit uneven at the same time. Yet, when viewed as a whole, the overall effect is so lovely and inviting. It is an antique textile embroidery that begs to be seen and loved.

Those people interested in Swedish flatweave rugs have certainly heard of Ingegerd slow. Not only was she a talented weaver, but also a great lover of her country’s art. Silow’s legacy lives on in numerous beautiful carpets, just like this one. Woven circa 1954, the rug immediately draws attention with its elegant design and distinctive color palette. In the center, we can see something that was probably inspired by central medallions appearing in vintage rugs. Using classic geometric shapes the weaver was able to create an original creation, something that you won’t see in your everyday antique rug, but only in a true piece of art. In the corner, we can see the signature of slow, a silent sign of her approval. The color palette is composed of warm tones of brown and mustard yellow, highlighted by silvery gray and just a splash of beige.

Since the mid-20th century Scandinavian design has been one of the most desirable and widely sought after styles in the world. This incredible popularity can be attributed to the brilliant simplicity and practicality of northern creations, which at the same time are utterly sophisticated.

The main field carries only a few geometric motifs and is enclosed by a simple border. Brown that prevails in the design is accompanied by extinguished orange, beige and blue.
