French Art Deco Vintage Geometric Crimson Hand-Knotted Wool Runner BB8462 4'6" × 17'1" $16,000

A bold and minimalist vintage French Art Deco runner from the 1940s, this piece exemplifies the powerful geometry and rich palette that define the movement. The design features a brilliant crimson red field framed by deep navy blue bands forming a stepped rectangular motif near the edges and interior, creating a framed, architectural look characteristic of the Art Deco aesthetic.

Hand-knotted in wool, the rug showcases subtle tonal shifts in the red field—resulting from artisanal dyeing techniques—which add texture, depth, and movement to the otherwise solid design. The thick wool pile provides both visual richness and a luxurious tactile experience.

Woven in France, this runner is a quintessential example of Deco-era textile artistry, where simplicity of form meets bold color. Its dramatic palette and clean lines make it a compelling choice for hallways, staircases, galleries, or any space in need of a sophisticated yet impactful design element.

With its unique pattern and refined colors, this vintage rug reflects the impeccable taste of Doris Leslie Blau’s selections. Offering both rare, high-end pieces and more accessible options, Doris Leslie Blau presents rugs in a wide spectrum of prices.
