$98,000.00

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. Hand-stitched wool flat-weave. Authentic one-of-a-kind designer-attributed antique.
