The movement was founded in Paris and merged nature and fantasy images with French rococo and Japanese-inspired art. Art Nouveau became fashionable in countries in Europe and in America, and carpet weavers interpreted this style in French workshops during this period.<br>

Art Nouveau was followed by the Art Deco movement, also founded in France. Art Deco was recognized for modernity and elegance in design. The style became a worldwide fascination during the 1920s and 1930s and was applied to architecture, decorative arts, jewelry, interior design, furniture, and floor coverings. The designs featured simplified geometric or Cubist motifs, and carpets of this style were often woven without borders. Notable French artists such as Ivan Da Silva Bruhns (1881-1980) and Louis Paul Jean Goulden (1878-1946) designed Art Deco carpets, which are in demand and valuable in the trade today.<br>
