Collectors highly seek the rare carpets attributed to Ivan da Silva Bruhns (1881-1980), considering them among the most prized French Art Deco examples.
Geometric elements characterize these carpets, clearly showing the influence of avant-garde artistic trends like Cubism. Artistes-décorateurs often commissioned Da Silva Bruhns to create carpets for luxurious Parisian upper-class interiors.
In this rug, rectangular mocha brown motifs alternate with clusters of blush pink triangles over an ivory background. This arrangement creates a three-dimensional effect typical of Synthetic Cubism. The style precisely matches Da Silva Bruhns’ work, suggesting this could be a rare, unsigned piece he designed.
