Early 20th Century Japanese Cotton Nabeshima Dantsu Carpet 3' x 5'10" - 91 x 178
Antique Japanese Small Scatter Size Cotton Ivory Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This charming piece offers a refined aesthetic in a practical small scatter size, ideal for hallways or intimate spaces. Woven entirely in cotton, it possesses a soft, pliable handle characteristic of early 20th-century Japanese textile production.
The palette is restrained yet impactful, featuring a luminous field of ivory color rugs accented by deep indigo and subtle, aged mustard tones. This careful selection of hues ensures the rug retains a light, airy quality while providing necessary visual grounding for the bold design elements.
The central design features bold, highly stylized cartouches and scrolling vines, reminiscent of Art Deco interpretations of classical patterns. These prominent shapes are interspersed with delicate stylized floral motifs rendered in pale yellow, creating a dynamic interplay between structure and organic form within the composition.
A striking Greek Key meander border, executed in a dense charcoal blue, frames the piece, lending a sense of classical structure that contrasts beautifully with the soft internal field. This exceptional textile stands as a testament to the sophisticated design sensibilities found among high-quality antique rugs produced in Japan during the Taishō and early Shōwa periods.
