About the Item
Made with hand-knotted wool in France circa 1950-1960, this 6x10 signed vintage Jean Lurcat rug entitled "The Sky" represents a museum-quality addition to Rug
Kilim's collection of important 20th-century textile art by this iconic mid-century designer.
On the Design:
“Le Ciel” or "The Sky" demonstrates Jean Lurçat's revolutionary approach to cosmic symbolism through masterful synthesis of ancient celestial imagery and modernist aesthetics. The central design features a magnificent radiating sun with complex layered formations—concentric geometric elements creating dimensional depth that suggests solar energy emanating across infinite space. The surrounding eleven smaller celestial bodies positioned with calculated asymmetry create orbital rhythm that energizes the entire cosmic landscape. The dramatic color palette exemplifies Lurçat's mastery of symbolic relationships—vibrant coral and chartreuse radiating elements achieving maximum luminosity against the deep black void that represents infinite celestial space. Each star formation features intricate internal geometric detailing with radiating spokes and angular patterns that demonstrate the artist's ability to translate cosmic energy into textile vocabulary.
It reflects Lurçat's understanding of both astronomical observation and artistic principles—the central sun serving as gravitational anchor while surrounding elements create movement suggesting planetary motion and stellar relationships. The precise execution reveals exceptional collaboration between artist and French tapestry and rug workshops during Lurçat's revival of the medium. This signed edition of "The Sky"functions as a commanding cosmic statement ideal for contemporary spaces celebrating Lurçat's revolutionary contribution to modern textile art.
