Mat approximately 80 by 45cm Nieuwe Kunst was the Dutch school contemporary with Art Nouveau.. Carpet design during this period was influenced by fabrics and textiles from the former Dutch colony of Indonesia, and is referred to as 'Dutch batik'.. Batik is identifiable by strong geometric patterns, primary colours and repeating motifs..

The current lot recollects the work of Gidding, with its bold use of clour and symmetrical design. W.
