Art Deco Rug, circa 1920's This stunningly classic Art Deco carpet revels in the beauty of pure geometry and exquisite color. Sections of circles articulated with parallel and concentric lines float across the mauve-lavender field, ensnared so to speak, by a diagonal linear grid superimposed above them. Additional linear embellishment fills portions of the grid. The entire composition challenges our notions of space and symmetry while teasing our sense of decoration. A masterpiece of early modernism. Style: Art Deco Origin: France Size: 5. ft 06 in x 8. ft 03 in (1.68 m x 2.51 m)   « Less

Antique Silk Yarkand Silk Saph, eighteenth centuryThis spectacular antique Saph or multiple-niche prayer rug is a masterpiece of East Turkestan weaving. Woven with all silk pile, it is luxurious yet elegantly reserved in its design of lobed niches surrounded by a simple vinescroll border system. The spandrels above each niche are different in design and color. The field of the niches in soft green, the color of the Prophet, is used here not only because it is a precious, difficult color to produce, but also as an expression of piety. While this rug has clear signs of wear, it is acceptable given its great age. Indeed, it bears the marks of its long experience like a venerable wise man or warrior.
