20th Century Grey & Red Italian Square Rug from Sardinia, ca 1960

About the Item

This Sardinian rug from the middle of the century. XX is tied in wool with bouclé technique (eyelet technique) and is decorated with a geometric pattern, which refers to the archaic tradition of the island. The mélange colour of the base comes from the use of wool in its natural colour. The production of textile products in Sardinia has a very ancient origin: a trade of carpets and other handicrafts of the Sardinian tradition existed, according to the historical reconstruction and the findings, since the times of the ancient Romans. The production was stimulated mainly by the abundance of a raw material such as sheep wool, used as yarn. The activity has been handed down from generation to generation and some Sardinian families have specialized in it, giving life to workshops craftsmen or "companies" of wider scope

20th Century, Brown and Floreal Motifs Savonerie French Rug, ca 1920

Located in Firenze, IT

The term Savonerie identifies a series of carpets knotted with Turkish knot and adorned with floral designs, made in Europe in various manufactories. The most famous and the one that gives the name to these carpets was settled in Paris in an ancient soap factory. Its foundation was an attempt by France in the seventeenth century to reproduce the expensive oriental carpets, but the main feature of these carpets is the Western style decor, which introduced an absolute novelty in the furnishings of the time. The productions of Savonerie over the years have become multiple, the most popular in addition to the French are the Spanish and Austrian. They were manufactories created specifically to produce large carpets intended for sumptuous noble palaces.

20th Century White and Blue Alice in Wonderland Salvador Dalí Rug, ca 1977

By Ege Axminster A/S

Located in Firenze, IT

Probably there would have been no better artist to illustrate a story as beautiful as surreal, like that of Alice in Wonderland. Let’s talk about Salvador Dali (1904-1989), the Spanish artist who changed the concept of 20th-century art. As an admirer of Freud, Salvador Dali is known for the use of symbolism and recurring objects in all of his works. This carpet, made by the well-known EGE AXMINSTER carpet factory from a 1969 painting, presents Alice jumping rope in a long fluttering dress with her head and hands represented as a bouquet and her symbolic shadow figure next to her. The dark grid lines fixed on an ivory field vanish at an escape point behind the mountains in the distance. Birds, abstract figures and a smaller secondary person dot the background in the distance. Dali’s signature...
