French Art Deco Rug After Maria Helena Vieira da Silva 46827

Art Deco Rug, France, Second Quarter 20th Century – This glamorous Da Silva inspired French art deco rug is a prototype for classical modernism and the first wave of minimalist decor, especially in vintage rugs. The innovative medallion-and-border composition represents a bold new style that maintains advanced symmetry and formal design elements. The structural wood-tone blocks explore the virtues of line and form through striped accent pieces, stacked layers and rectilinear blocks that become part of larger composite creations. Skillfully placed building blocks form a harmonious and infinitely interesting design with linear details and varied contours that resemble a modern cityscape. Architectural motifs with uncompromising lines are paired with sophisticated wood-tones and chic neutrals that have an elegant effect when set against the calming celadon ground. This glamorous French art deco rug is a classically modern creation with organic designs that readily become part of the greater interior environment.
