Vintage Frank Lloyd Wright Imperial Squares Carpet 183 x 275cm 20th Century

About the Item

This is a very elegant fine quality Vintage Frank Loyd Wright designed Imperial Squares carpet,dating from the second half of the 20th Century. This beautiful carpet was hand woven in Tibet and has a 70% wool and 30% Silk, 100 knot pile base. It features black, gold and browns in geometric patterns. Imperial Squares takes advantage of the many geometric concepts introduced architecturally in both the exterior and interior of the Imperial Hotel. This finely woven wool carpet has silk insets to enrich and enliven the square, diamond and pyramid configurations. The shimmer of the golden natural silk against the deep chocolate brown emphasizes the colours in the design devices. Note the square border which surrounds the centre and is again partially repeated vertically on both sides, evoking the feeling of an infinite repeat. Thsi carpet took around 8 months to make by hand and is in excellent condition. The original was designed for the Imperial Hotel, Tokyo, that Wright designed and after standing for more than 40 years in the Hibiya district of Tokyo, it was decided that the Frank Lloyd Wright-designed Imperial Hotel in Tokyo, which opened in 1923, must be replaced. In 1968, the Main Lobby of the hotel was dismantled and relocated to the Meiji-mura Museum Village in Aichi Prefecture, where it was painstakingly reconstructed, repaired and preserved for future generations. Add a touch of sophisticated style to a special place in your home. Condition: In excellent condition, please see photos for confirmation.

He designed more than 100 structuresover a creative period of 70 years. Wright played a key role in the architectural movements of the twentieth century, influencing architects worldwide through his works and mentoring hundreds of apprentices in his Taliesin Fellowship. Wright believed in designing in harmony with humanity and the environment, a philosophy he called organic architectur. This philosophy was exemplified in Fallingwater (1935), which has been called "the best all-time work of American architecture". Wright embraced new technologies and tactics, constantly pushing the boundaries of his field. His fascination for the new and his desire to be a pioneer help explain Wright's tendency to test his materials—sometimes even to the brink of failure—in an effort to achieve effects he could claim as uniquely his own.
