About the Item

Antique Amsterdam School Rug (c. 1915) Attributed to K.P.C. de Bazel Executed by Koninklijke Vereenigde Tapijtfabrieken (KVT) Size: 11'6" × 12'9" (350 × 388 cm) This exceptional antique rug, dating to circa 1915, stands as a rare and sophisticated example of the Amsterdam School design movement, attributed to the eminent Dutch architect and designer K.P.C. de Bazel. Executed by the prestigious Koninklijke Vereenigde Tapijtfabrieken (KVT), the rug embodies the movement’s bold sense of structure, modernist abstraction, and refined decorative sensibilities. Crafted in a plush wool pile, the rug features a harmonious palette dominated by dusky rose, deep crimson, black, slate blue, and subtle golden accents, creating a richly atmospheric and moody composition. The central field is composed of a rhythmically repeating lozenge motif, each filled with delicate floral abstractions and framed by scrolling flourishes — a nod to both Art Nouveau and De Stijl geometries. The border, in stark contrast to the serene center, brims with elaborate symmetrical floral medallions encased in interlaced foliage patterns, lending a visual weight that anchors the design. These striking medallions are crafted with precision and balance, each forming a mandala-like rosette, giving the rug a contemplative and architectural depth — typical of de Bazel’s holistic design philosophy. The craftsmanship is further underscored by its dense weave and sculptural texture, visible in the tight looping and crisp articulation of color boundaries. The high-quality wool enhances both durability and depth of color, offering a tactile richness appropriate for high-concept interiors or curated collections. As a product of KVT — a renowned Dutch manufacturer celebrated for its collaboration with leading architects and designers — this piece reflects the early 20th-century push toward integrated design, where architecture, furniture, and textiles were conceived as part of a unified aesthetic environment. A rare piece from the Doris Leslie Blau Collection, this rug exemplifies superior artistry and tradition. Doris Leslie Blau offers a broad and varied pricing spectrum, accommodating collectors and designers across a range of budgets—from modest vintage finds to rare, museum-worthy masterpieces.
