English Art Deco Carpet<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Possibly Designed by Marion Dorn<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8\u20198\u201d x 11\u20199\u201d (2.64m by 3.58m)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Circa 1930\u2019s<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This totally graphic, utterly abstract, bold study in black, white and touches of red, has appeared in numerous publications on the Art Deco period. The center diagonal band is subtly three dimensional, receding at the center and the general effect is of strong movement. The color scheme is oh-so-chic and this carpet has few equals among 1930\u2019s pieces from anywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This carpet bears the partially illegible label of the Anglo \u2026 Carpet Company.  On an all wool foundation, with double wefts, it is coarsely symmetrically knotted in three-ply wool with a pile about \u00bd inch deep.  As is the case with the overwhelming majority of English 30\u2019s Art Deco carpets, there is no border. The ivory ground displays diagonals with giant red spots and black\/ivory scale patterns. The pattern is geometric, abstract and hard-edged, with no hint of floral or other realistic elements. However, the large dots have a mobility and seem to drift across the carpet.  There is nothing static about the layout, rather a strong sense of diagonal motion.<\/p>\n\n\n
