Antique French Art Deco Cubist Design Rug Attributed to Ivan da Silva Bruhns

About the Item

The rare examples which can be attributed to Ivan da Silva Bruhns (1881-1980) are among the most sought after French Art Deco carpets. Characterized by geometric elements clearly influenced by the stylistic trends of the artistic avant-garde such as Cubism. Da Silva Bruhns carpets were often commissioned by the 'artistes-décorateurs' for the luxurious interiors of the Parisian upper class. In the present rug the field is composed of intersecting rectangular planes in tones of camel, pink and teal blue set against a mustard yellow background, with touches of mocha accenting the details and corners.. The result is a three-dimensional arrangement that is quite typical of Synthetic Cubism, as expressed in the contemporaneous work of artists such a Picasso and Braque. Stylistically it is precisely in the style of Da Silva Bruhns, and could very well be a rare unsigned piece designed by him.
