A Nieuwe Kunst carpet, circa 1920, in 'Dutch Batik' style, together with a matching mat, Rug approximately 310 by 215cm.,. 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.. Jaap Gidding (1887- 1955) was a predominant designer and producer of carpets during the twenties, the Tuschinski Theatre in Amsterdam exemplifying his work: 'his design for the walls and carpets of the theatre are in the Batik style, but also recollect Caucasian dragon carpets of the 18th century', (Day, Susan, Art Deco and Modernist Carpets, Thames and Hudson, London 2002 p75).. The current lot recollects the work of Gidding, with its bold use of clour and symmetrical design. W.

William Morris: Arts & Crafts machine-made woollen twill Kidderminster rug in ‘Lily’ pattern, Heckmondwike Manufacturing Co., Yorkshire, England, about 1875 7ft.6in. x 5ft. 2.29m. x 1.52m. Reduced in size from original piece, areas of damage and loss principally top left corner and edge, canvas backed. See Haslam, Arts & Crafts Carpets, fig. 26, p.43 for a version of this carpet in shades of blue with variant single narrow border (the illustration taken from Aymer Vallance, The Art of William Morris, 1897) and a discussion of Morris’s commercial designs for Heckmondwike and other manufacturing companies in the 1870s and 1880s. Also Parry, William Morris Textiles, fig. 140, p. 172 and William Morris and The Arts & Crafts Movement – A Source Book, pl. 86, for a sample in similar shades of green to the present piece. Not surprisingly, made-up examples of Morris’s designs for commercial carpeting have not survived in great numbers and would now appear to be very rare, especially examples such as this with matching borders.
