Art Deco Rug, Continental Europe, circa 1935 This classically Art Deco rug treads the line between decorative abstraction and representation. Many of the forms in the field seem to depict landscape elements - mountains, rivers, sun and clouds - but it is difficult to be sure. It all works just as well as free-form design or pattern, carefully coordinated with effective color contrasts and juxtapositions. The border of arches and volutes works similarly, as pattern or as a stylized rendering of architectural form. Though rendered in the medium of decorative textile, this piece is nonetheless a first-rate modern painting.   « Less

Antique Konya Rug - Turkey, mid nineteenth century Though one might not at first recognize them as such, a pattern of angular rosettes or flowers in ivory, blue, and brown floats in nicely spaced rows on the rich saffron field of this classic antique 'yellow ground' Konya. Smaller quartered diamonds fill out the intervening spaces of the field. The same diamonds recur as the border set against a brown ground. This piece exemplified the bold, graphic drawing and stunning color for which early Konya carpets are so prized nowadays. The brown, in true nomadic tradition, is made from un-dyed natural wool, and so it is thick and meaty, unlike the cored brown one mostly encounters on antique rugs.
