A 1930s French Art Deco needlepoint carpet attributed to Atelier Martine — the design studio founded by couturier Paul Poiret — woven around 1935 and measuring approximately 396.2 × 457.5 cm (about 13’0″ × 15’0″). The composition is built on a black field with a floral design and a black border, in the bold modernist vocabulary characteristic of Atelier Martine’s interior design work.
Atelier Martine, founded by Paul Poiret in 1911, was one of the most important early-20th-century French interior design ateliers, producing furniture, textiles, and carpets that helped define the Art Deco style.
