About the Item
Made with hand-knotted wool in France circa 1950-1960, this 13x13 vintage French Art Deco square rug is an extremely collectible mid-century square rug from Jean Cocteau’s designs—the work of an iconic artist known for their impact on a global design movement.
On the Design:
Admirers of the craft may appreciate this linear design employing Jean Cocteau's characteristic economy of means—single continuous strokes that suggest figuration while maintaining pure abstraction. These flowing forms create visual art through their rhythmic repetition and organic movement, demonstrating the artist's understanding of textile as medium for gestural expression. The monochromatic palette achieves sophisticated restraint through tonal relationships—warm ivory and gray ground against sepia linear work.
The piece excels as wall-mounted art where its calligraphic sophistication complements mid-century modern interiors and contemporary art collections. In luxury residential settings, this work provides cultural authenticity that resonates with serious collectors who understand Cocteau's significance within French avant-garde history. For discerning clients seeking pieces that bridge fine and decorative arts, this vintage piece represents the pinnacle of artist-designed textiles from a pivotal moment in 20th-century French culture.
