$55,000

Step into the golden era of French decorative arts with this captivating vintage Art Deco rug from the 1930s. A true testament to the movement’s elegance and innovation, this French Deco carpet reflects the stylistic exuberance of its time, seamlessly blending organic motifs with modernist geometry.

Rendered in a warm palette of earthen tones—muted sienna, mocha, ochre, and russet—the rug features a masterful interplay of stylized elements. Bold black lines form rectilinear grids and frames throughout the field, enclosing decorative panels that alternate between linear zebra-like patterns, intricate floral abstractions, and solid blocks of saturated color. This architectural balance is softened by gently arching, sinuous branches laden with berries and leaves, which bloom organically across the structured backdrop. The composition is both balanced and asymmetrical—characteristic of French Deco’s sophisticated aesthetic.

Woven by hand, likely in the Aubusson or Cogolin tradition, the rug has a dense pile and finely articulated details. The wool exhibits a rich texture and subtle sheen, suggesting a high-quality weave. Though unsigned, the refined composition and quality hint at a designer or atelier of significant stature.

With its unique pattern and refined colors, this vintage rug reflects the impeccable taste of Doris Leslie Blau’s selections. Offering both rare, high-end pieces and more accessible options, Doris Leslie Blau presents rugs in a wide spectrum of prices.
