Elegant Chinese carpet from the Art Nouveau period with a cerise red background

About the Item

Antique Chinese carpet from Pekino, which in its decoration and colors fully echoes the Art Nouveau style that characterized the renewal of taste in furnishings in the late nineteenth century and the first decades of the twentieth century. Art Nouveau, in fact, began as a rebellion against the industrial revolution of the late 19th century. The fine arts, architecture, and applied arts were characterized by sinuous and elegant forms. The presence of stylized elements, borrowed from the natural world, contrasted with strong colors, unusual and extravagant shape choices, and the absence of symmetry and proportion. Strong is the connection with China, which with its magical and mysterious atmospheres has been an important source of inspiration for patrons and artists.
