Item Description

Art Nouveau carpets emerged in the late 19th and early 20th centuries as part of the broader Art Nouveau movement, which emphasized organic forms, flowing lines, and nature-inspired motifs. These carpets often featured sinuous curves, floral patterns, and stylized plant forms that echoed the movement’s decorative principles in architecture, furniture, and the applied arts. Notable contributors to Art Nouveau textile and carpet design included Silver Studio in Britain, as well as Eugène Grasset in France, and designers across Europe combining folkloric motifs with Nouveau stylization. This fine early example employs a wonderful all-over design, with floral lozenges repeated across the field in delicate eathy pastel shades of duck egg blue, elephant grey, ivory and muted saffron, with accents of fresh ochre red – all framed by a wide, decorative border. Retained in very good condition for everyday use, with its borders well preserved on all sides – its colours have taken on a delicate patina with age. A charming and unsual carpet, which would compliment a wide variety of interiors.
