About the Item

This oversized 10x18 antique Art Deco rug is an especially rare new treasure among the most exceptional new additions to Rug & Kilim's Art Deco Collection—made with hand-knotted wool in China circa 1920-1930, with a bold, yet minimalist design inspired by the French Deco sensibility of the movement. On the Design: Admirers of the craft will particularly appreciate what a collectible, unusual find this Chinese Deco rug is among period pieces of its provenance—one of few near-palace-sized rugs, and an exemplary work in the achievement of such graphic presence these rugs would achieve through such inventive minimalist designs. This piece enjoys brilliant play of gold, red, and midnight blue with black notes, the latter three tones in its dynamic medallion and geometric patterns over the gold ground. One can't help but commend the play of negative space, not to mention the subtle asymmetry of the corner designs around the medallion as well. It's a piece full of unexpected, yet fabulous executed elements for its scale and large size, and an absolute treasure of the movement—a gorgeous marriage of the European and Oriental approaches to the Style Moderne like almost no other of the Jazz Age. Condition: This antique Art Deco rug further enjoys great condition for its age and origin, with only a minor, barely visible element of wear in its medallion—an outstanding find equally ready for any designer as it is connoisseurs and collectors of rarities.

Vintage Zeki Müren Rug in Ochre with Red & Blue Geometric Pattern by Rug & Kilim
Located in Long Island City, NY
This vintage 5x8 rug is an exciting new addition to Rug & Kilim’s Mid-Century Pasha Collection. This line is a commemoration, with rare curations we believe to hail from multidisciplinary Turkish designer Zeki Müren. Hand-knotted in wool circa 1960-1970. Further on the Design: This particular design exemplifies Müren’s talent for recapturing a wide range of aesthetics in his own mid-century style. Connoisseurs may observe a nod to French Art Deco and postmodern British sensibilities one seldom sees in mid-century rugs. The field is a warm ochre, and hosts a bold array of funky retro geometric patterns in rich red, sky blue, and chartreuse green. These playful colors and sharp drawings all speak to Müren’s sense of attitude and whimsy that distinguishes his works. Further on the Condition: This mid-century Art Deco rug...
