French Art Deco Vintage Abstract Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug By D.I.M. – A Symphony Of Curves BB4794 7'10" × 11'2" $43,000

This vintage French Art Deco rug, attributed to D.I.M. and dating to circa 1920, brings the streamlined modernism of interwar France into a hand-knotted wool format.

Its warm tan field is organized through oversized circles, crescent bands, and softened rectangular blocks that overlap in a deliberate, almost architectural rhythm. Cream and light beige forms are outlined in chestnut brown, while blush pink and warm taupe introduce quiet tonal shifts. Rather than framing the composition with a traditional border, the design lets the field itself create movement, so the eye follows layered arcs and rounded segments across the surface. The small D.I.M. mark near the upper edge adds a subtle workshop signature to the composition.

Graphic yet approachable, the rug has the clean-lined presence collectors associate with French Art Deco carpets, softened by its muted palette and wool pile. It works beautifully in contemporary interiors, where its curves can echo modern furnishings, as well as in Art Deco-inspired rooms that call for structure without severity.

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.
