French Vintage Floral Oversized Sand Hand-Knotted Wool Rug Modernist Cogolin BB5172 15'10" × 21'0" $75,000

Hand-knotted in France circa 1950, this oversized vintage Cogolin rug reflects the southern French weaving tradition in a quietly modernist format. Woven in wool, it brings the softness and durability associated with fine vintage French rugs to a generous interior scale.

The field is covered edge to edge with a tightly packed geometric repeat that reads like a delicate honeycomb or lattice. Sand beige and warm tan keep the drawing low-contrast, so the surface is perceived first as texture and only then as pattern. A broad plain border in a slightly deeper tonal wash frames the composition and reinforces its calm, tailored geometry.

With no medallion or strong hierarchy, the rug has an architectural clarity that works beautifully beneath clean-lined furniture, in open-plan living spaces, or alongside contemporary art. Its subtle Art Deco undertone lends period character without overpowering the room, making this French vintage rug especially versatile in layered, transitional, or restrained modern interiors.

This remarkable vintage rug comes from the curated collection at Doris Leslie Blau, renowned for its discerning eye for quality, artistry, and timeless design. Doris Leslie Blau presents an exceptional range of vintage, antique, and contemporary rugs suited to both classic and modern interiors.
