“Carré rouge Carré blanc” rug by Sonia Delaunay
Designed around 1960, Carré rouge Carré blanc is an elegant hand-tufted wool rug by Sonia Delaunay, one of the pioneers of abstract art and modern textile design. Built around a carefully balanced arrangement of geometric squares, the composition illustrates the artist’s remarkable ability to create rhythm, harmony, and movement through the interaction of color and form.
Produced in a limited edition by the Fabrica de Alfombras y Tapices de Santa Marta de Magasca in Cáceres, the work is monogrammed by the artist and reflects the close relationship between modern artistic creation and traditional textile craftsmanship. The simplicity of its composition reveals the sophistication of Delaunay’s visual language, making the rug equally compelling as a work of art and as an architectural element within contemporary interiors.
Presented in excellent condition and originating from a private collection in France, Carré rouge Carré blanc represents a rare opportunity to acquire an authentic textile work by one of the twentieth century’s most influential artists, whose legacy continues to shape the history of modern tapestry and textile design.
