French Deco Rug BB8722 4'3" × 7'3" $9,000

This vintage French Art Deco rug beautifully captures the essence of 1920s design with bold, geometric patterns. The composition is accentuated by unique motifs of bees, which are intricately woven into the design. These bees, detailed with fine lines and stylized wings, are carefully scattered across the field, adding a playful yet sophisticated touch to the overall composition. A defining feature of the rug is the elegant Greek key border, adding a refined touch and framing the piece with its iconic interlocking design. The color palette blends rich neutrals, such as beige and cream, with subtle accents of deeper tones such as blue, pink and taupe, enhancing the luxurious and timeless appeal of this statement piece.

Art Deco is a style of visual arts, architecture and design that first appeared in France just before World War I. The Art Deco movement led to a fast evolution of the rug and textile design, among other art forms. Rug design evolved from traditional floral and highly ornamental to a style of angular elegance with geometric, abstract and modern figurative motifs. The design is frequently spare, geometric, and architectural. The rugs created during this period remain elegant and refined to this day.
