On the Design:

This antique Savonnerie striped rug is from the collection of Y & B Bolour.

Connoisseurs will recognize this design as a breathtaking design plan, remarkably forward-thinking for a minimalist aesthetic across the floor. The canvas relies on a hypnotic, all-over pattern of undulating diagonal stripes that run vertically across the face, with the fluid, painterly lines cascading in gentle waves that enfold a field of warm, neutral tones. This hypnotic movement creates an optical illusion of texture that behaves like drifting desert sands or rippling water, underscoring the graphic lines with a particular emphasis on soft beige, sandy taupe, and deep cocoa brown among the many hues at play; a rhythmic palette that lends a particular sense of life and movement to the minimalist motifs.

Admirers of the craft will further note the substantial pile topography, hand-knotted in wool which possesses the dense, luxurious handle that once defined the prestigious Savonnerie workshops. It’s an especially interesting find to see these Art Deco elements in tandem with the subtle, striated shifts between the light borders and the denser, darker central tracks, which introduce a beautiful luster and three-dimensional depth under ambient light.
