Salvador Dali European Rug Mid-Century

About the Item

This is a mid-century rug featuring artwork by Salvador Dalí, the renowned Spanish surrealist artist. The piece is a representation of Dalí's unique and fantastical style, depicting an abstracted, colorful phoenix-like creature in the midst of a fiery resurrection, a common theme in Dalí's work symbolizing rebirth and immortality. The vibrant colors of the phoenix — with hues of blue, orange, and yellow — are vivid against the neutral background of the rug. The creature appears to be in motion, with bold, sweeping lines suggesting the energy and turbulence of its rise from the ashes. Around the central figure are sketch-like drawings, including a figure with wings and a seated person, possibly reflecting on the scene or representing an element of human consciousness observing the mythical event. The presence of these figures adds a narrative quality to the piece, inviting interpretation and reflection. Dalí's signature and the date of creation are woven into the design, adding authenticity to the rug and marking it as a piece of art history. The work embodies the spirit of surrealism, merging dreamlike imagery with the craftsmanship of rug making, resulting in a functional piece of art that is both thought-provoking and visually striking. This rug would have been a bold statement piece in a mid-century modern interior, indicative of the era's fascination with blending art, design, and everyday living. The measurement of this piece 139 x 200 CM in size.

  • 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...
