Vintage Checkered Flatweave Carpet, Midcentury Modern Meets Cubist Style

About the Item

80094 Vintage Checkered Afghan Kilim Rug, 09'07 x 12'08. This handwoven wool vintage Afghan Kilim rug showcases an all-over checkered grid pattern, a motif that echoes the bold geometries and dynamic compositions of Cubist art. Composed of small squares in alternating colors, this simple yet impactful design creates a mesmerizing optical effect reminiscent of the Cubist movement's fascination with fractured forms and shifting perspectives. The rug's overall sensibility draws inspiration from the avant-garde works of Douglas Coupland, Pablo Picasso, Paul Klee, William Kendall, and Albert Gleizes, embodying a spirit of innovation and artistic exploration. Lovely waves of abrash traverse the rug's surface, lending it a painterly quality that further enhances its visual allure. The stunning polychromatic color palette, with its vibrant hues and subtle tonal variations, captures the eye and invites contemplation, much like the vibrant palettes employed by the Cubist masters. With its modern approach and captivating Cubist style, this vintage Kilim rug exudes a forward-looking spirit that would enliven any space, whether it be a contemporary urban loft, an eclectic artist's studio, or a Midcentury Modern gallery setting.
