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...
