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.
