Vintage hand-woven geometric rug, 1970s–80s
Vintage hand-woven geometric rug, 1970s–80s
A large hand-woven vintage rug with a bold yet calm geometric design. The wide coral red central field is framed by soft blue side panels and striped borders in light blue and warm ochre yellow. The rug is flat-woven; the visible yarn structure, slight colour variations and small irregularities show that it is not machine-made. The reverse is also neatly finished. The material is wool with cotton warps.
The design fits within international textile design of the 1970s and early 1980s and recalls Scandinavian modernist flatweaves as well as hand-woven dhurries and kilims from South Asia. Like the other rug, this piece comes from a carefully furnished home with quality objects collected by the previous owner on travels abroad.
Why we chose this piece
A solid hand-woven interior piece with a distinctly modernist look, not a recent decorative product.
Style and interior
The large, calm central field makes it a strong foundation for a seating area. It pairs beautifully with natural linen, dark wood, travertine, chrome, cream bouclé and 1970s and 1980s furniture; in an understated interior with lime plaster and old materials, its colours add just the right amount of tension.
