Hand-knotted in natural silk and linen, this oversized 12x15 rug is a monumental addition to Rug & Kilim’s Art Deco collection. This piece functions as an architectural, atmospheric canvas that champions asymmetrical, abstract geometry through a highly tactile lens.
On the Design:
This oversized contemporary piece features a bold French Deco pattern, defined by a monumental, asymmetrical geometric block separated by vast minimalist negative space. The field is rendered in a refined, tonal palette of soft beige, punctuated by rhythmic, teal-colored architectural and step motifs that appear to climb gracefully through the central quadrant. Complementing the central field are subtle outer corner details showcasing interlocking geometric meander patterns in a muted, tonal beige.
Admirers of the craft will appreciate our proprietary technique that both innovates and honors 1920s weaving techniques inherent to French Deco style, ensuring the design’s purity is matched by its physical quality. Our natural silk and linen blend’s more durable, weighted body is a hallmark of the collection, specifically engineered for buckle resistance and longevity in high-traffic or heavy-furniture spaces. This rug represents R&K Principal Jahanshah Nazmiyal’s vision to honor the modernist aesthetic, serving as a renaissance for these iconic designs through more comfortable, current techniques. It is a sophisticated contribution to the French Deco style, achieving timeless functionality and grace.
The accompanying book, Woven Histories: Textiles and Modern Abstraction, Edited by Lynne Cooke, is part of Volumes by Rug & Kilim. The book (SKU - B239) can be acquired independently through our bookstore, here.
