Vintage French Art Deco Floral Soft Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Runner BB6265 3'1" × 9'3" $14,000

This vintage French Art Deco runner, circa 1940, is hand-knotted in wool and brings a distinctly European sensibility to the long, narrow format. Its composition is spare at the center and richly framed at the edges, a balance that suits corridors, entryways, and gallery-like interiors.

The field is a soft beige ground animated by fine powder-blue tracery, with clustered slate-blue floral rosettes punctuating the length of the rug. Along both sides, a broad botanical border gathers rust, terracotta, sienna, ochre, olive, and muted orange into layered leaf-like strokes, creating a vivid frame that feels rhythmic rather than heavy. The contrast between the quiet center and the warmer perimeter gives the runner a tailored Art Deco character with botanic warmth.

Because the pattern stays open through the middle, this vintage wool runner adds presence without crowding furnishings. It works particularly well where a designer wants color, movement, and visual elongation in a refined, collectable French vintage rug.

Sourced from the expansive Doris Leslie Blau collection, this vintage rug exemplifies the gallery's passion for preserving remarkable carpets of enduring beauty. DLB offers a diverse selection of antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs, accommodating collectors and designers across every style and budget.
