Vintage Abstract Expressionist Rug in Blue with Colorful Pattern
Located in Long Island City, NY
This vintage 9x15 rug is a rare abstract expressionist rug believed to originate in mid-century Germany—from the new unveilings in Rug & Kilim’s Antique & Vintage Collection.
On the Design:
Hand-knotted in wool circa 1940-1950, this rug enjoys a graphic sensibility in a bold painterly style like that of brushstrokes. Its colorway favors dark blues with red and black notes, and an especially present beige in its border. Connoisseurs will further admire it as an extremely collectible work for its period—an exemplar of impressionist and Art Deco style with drama, movement, and immersive beauty in every inch.
Condition:

Vintage Qashqai Animal Rug, Red, Wool, Circa 1940s, 4’ x 6’
Located in New York, NY
This Persian Qashqai carpet circa 1940 was created using a wool warp, wool weft, hand-knotted pure wool pile and natural vegetable dyes. The central lion design is rather striking in the way it contrasts the carpet's red field, as well as in its detailed facial features. In Persian folklore, the lion symbolizes kingship, prestige, and the protection of sacred spaces. Its power is beautifully conveyed by the weaver of this piece, who created this carpet for ceremonious purpose. Taking a closer look at the border, one can see Qashqai villagers dancing in celebratory robes, indicating that this was likely woven as a wedding carpet...
