French Art Deco Vintage Floral Soft Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug By NoëL Hostens BB6074 9'6" × 11'0" $22,000

This vintage French Art Deco rug, designed by Noël Hostens circa 1950, is hand-knotted in wool and reflects the refined decorative language of mid-century French carpet design. Its soft beige ground and balanced layout give it a tailored presence that feels distinctly period, yet easy to place in contemporary interiors.

Rather than a central medallion, the composition unfolds as a full-field repeat of panel-like compartments, creating an architectural rhythm across the surface. Within each section, abstract floral forms, rounded leaves, and small checkerboard accents merge into a pattern that is both graphic and organic. The result is a floral rug with geometric structure and a measured sense of movement.

Rust, warm taupe, terracotta, and deep brown bring warmth and definition to the design while preserving the airy character of the light beige field. A restrained border frames the composition without competing with it, allowing the rug to work beautifully in living rooms, studies, and other design-forward settings where Art Deco style and subtle color are equally valued.

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.
