Antique Indian Art Deco Minimalist Rug with Red Open Field and Blue Border

About the Item

A rare and unusual Indian carpet woven in the Art Deco period distinguished by a burgundy red open field and framed by a simple monochrome blue border. Carpets of this type were sometimes commissioned to decorate the immense Palaces of the Maharajahs in northern India, which were sometimes the work of exceptional architects such as Eckart Muthesius. Most of these Art Deco monuments didn't survive, the contents of which were sold until quite recently.

Antique Minimalist Jajim Flat-Woven Rug with Vertical Green/Red Stripes
Located in Milan, IT
A very graphic tribal Kilim composed of two joined panels each containing a sequence of green and red vertical stripes of various widths, each framed by a narrow ivory stripe. The result is a wool flat-weave with a mirror image pattern having a central stripe that is different and wider than the others. What makes this example rather unique is the richness of the two colors, obtained from natural dyes, as well the generous width of the vertical stripes. Furthermore, the quality of the individual dyes, which include a wonderful emerald green obtained from the indigo plant and a clear madder red, are indicative of an early vintage. The resulting visual effect is highly abstract and reminiscent more of Western contemporary art...

Located in Long Island City, NY
Made with hand-knotted wool and originating in the early 20th century, this 15x22 antique Persian rug is a rare and exciting new curation from our Antique collection. On the Design: Keen eyes will appreciate the play of medallion and open field, where the rich red underscores the large-scale geometric medallion enclosed in a thick, finely-detailed border. The natural sense of depth of the medallion pattern brings out both the natural, regal character of the design in kindred hues of rich red, blue, and pink, as well as the meticulous accenting hues of a grayish blue against the prevailing colorway. The construction hosts a lustrous wool that brings out the texture and finesse of this rare regal piece. Admirers of the craft will note the design influence of Turkish Isparta rugs...
