Art Nouveau Vintage Floral Dusty Rose Hand-Knotted Wool Rug Dutch Amsterdam School Rug (C. 1915) Attributed To K.P.C. De Bazel, Executed By Koninklijke Vereenigde Tapijtfabrieken (Kvt) BB8345 11'6" × 12'9" $85,000

This antique Dutch Amsterdam School rug, circa 1915, is attributed to K.P.C. de Bazel and was executed by Koninklijke Vereenigde Tapijtfabrieken (KVT), placing it firmly within the Netherlands’ early modern decorative tradition.

The square composition is organized around a dusty rose field, where rows of stylized floral rosettes and quatrefoil forms are linked by charcoal outlines and deep pink accents. Small central blossoms punctuate the repeat, while a darker border repeats large circular medallions set within scrolling foliage, creating a measured lattice that feels both decorative and architectural.

Hand-knotted in wool, it has the dense, tactile character expected of a fine antique rug, with black, navy, and brick-red notes lending depth to the softened pink ground. The result is a rug that brings botanical rhythm, crisp symmetry, and an elegant early-modern presence to formal dining rooms, libraries, or layered contemporary interiors. Its restrained palette allows the pattern to read clearly without overpowering a room, making it especially adaptable beneath refined upholstery and pale wood tones.

Curated by Doris Leslie Blau, this vintage rug carries the distinct character and artisanal soul that the gallery has championed for decades. With an unrivaled selection spanning eras, origins, and price points, Doris Leslie Blau continues to make fine carpet art accessible to designers and collectors worldwide.
