About the Item

Vintage Dutch Rug by Jaap Gidding – A Bold Synthesis of Art Deco and Modernism Size: 7'10" × 11'5" (238 × 347 cm) This extraordinary vintage Dutch rug, designed by renowned artist Jaap Gidding in the 1930s, is a masterclass in graphic abstraction and textile innovation. Known for his contributions to theater design and architecture, Gidding infused this piece with the same modernist vigor that defined his broader artistic oeuvre. Woven in the Netherlands, the rug captures the bold architectural precision and rhythmic symmetry characteristic of the Art Deco movement. Its commanding presence is established through a central mirrored composition, almost totemic in form, where geometric blocks and architectural fragments seem to radiate outward from the core. The structure of the design suggests influences from industrial blueprints and stained glass, anchored by a strong axial layout that emphasizes balance and movement. The palette is unapologetically vibrant and richly layered—featuring deep burgundy, magenta, mauve, dusty rose, and fiery orange, punctuated by notes of sage green, charcoal gray, and flame red. These hues are orchestrated to create dynamic contrast while maintaining cohesion across the composition. The precision of the color blocking and layering reveals the hand of a true designer attuned to both form and impact. Crafted from wool, the rug has a dense, velvety pile with excellent structural integrity. Close-up images show a hand-knotted construction with an impressively tight weave, while subtle wear and patina contribute to its vintage charm. The hand-finished edging and turned corners further affirm its artisan origin and collectible quality. Both a functional floor covering and a museum-worthy textile, this Jaap Gidding rug is a rare surviving example of early 20th-century Dutch modernism—a statement piece equally suited for mid-century, contemporary, or eclectic interiors. Its architectural elegance and arresting palette make it a striking foundation for any thoughtfully curated space. 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.
