About the Item
1920s European Art Deco Rug – North Indian Type
Size: 14'7" × 16'10" (444 × 513 cm)
This striking vintage Art Deco rug, woven in Europe in the 1920s in the North Indian style, embodies the decorative boldness and refined craftsmanship of the interwar period. Though the designer remains unknown, the piece is a masterful example of cross-cultural design influences—blending the geometry and floral abstraction of European Art Deco with weaving techniques and textures reminiscent of North Indian carpet-making traditions.
At the center of the design, a bold medallion radiates outward in a dazzling sunburst of floral motifs, scalloped edges, and layered botanical forms. The composition is meticulously symmetrical and built around rhythmic repetition, lending it a commanding visual presence. The palette—a sophisticated harmony of dusty rose, cream, mauve, and taupe—enhances the romantic yet modern quality of the design.
The border features angular, almost architectural rays interspersed with stylized blooms and seed pod motifs. This fusion of organic and geometric elements is a hallmark of early 20th-century European decorative arts. Hand-knotted in wool, the rug has a soft, luxurious texture and a gentle patina that reflects its age and authenticity.
Despite its European origin, the weaving and coloration reflect clear inspiration from North Indian traditions, suggesting a global conversation in design and production during the period.
This rug is part of the esteemed Doris Leslie Blau collection, renowned for its curated selection of antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs. Doris Leslie Blau offers a vast selection of antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs in a wide range of styles, materials, and price points, making fine textile art accessible to both collectors and designers alike.
