This rug, after Sonia Delaunay – Demi-Cercles (Half-Circles), is a remarkable textile interpretation of the abstract and colorful world of one of the greatest artists of the 20th century. The geometric composition, based on half-circles and chromatic contrasts, perfectly reflects the artist's exploration of rhythm, movement, and color harmony. Entirely handmade and hand-knotted, this rug features a silky wool pile on a cotton foundation, offering exceptional quality, suppleness, and a refined feel. Its beautiful polychromy highlights the richness of form and the balance of the composition. Measuring 200 x 300 cm (79 x 118 in), this piece makes a striking decorative element for a contemporary interior, gallery, or textile art collection. Its excellent overall condition testifies to the quality of its craftsmanship and preservation. Sonia Delaunay (1885–1979) was a French-Ukrainian artist, a pioneer of modern abstraction and a co-founder of Simultaneism. Her work explored the relationships between color, light, and movement through painting, design, fashion, and textiles. She profoundly influenced 20th-century decorative arts, making carpets and tapestries the preferred mediums of her artistic expression.
