“Mythos” Designed By Jean Lurçat Modern Animal Light Beige Handmade Cotton Rug N12829 11'4" × 18'1" $28,000

Borderless and highly graphic, this Art Deco rug turns a light beige field into a stage for mirrored animal friezes at the top and bottom. Zebras, antelopes, and a central dark brown creature are rendered with stylized contours, while dotted red pathways and pale vine lines lend the composition a sense of movement.

The design draws on Jean Lurçat’s figurative language, but the result feels distinctly contemporary: part textile art, part modern animal rug. The open center gives the imagery room to breathe, allowing the composition to read from across a room and making the piece especially effective beneath clean-lined seating or minimal furniture.

Hand-knotted in cotton, Mythos has a soft, matte hand and a grounded, natural character that suits refined modern interiors. Its name is well chosen, as the fringed beasts and swirling vine motifs evoke a timeless legend rather than a literal scene. It is a compelling choice for contemporary and Art Deco-inspired rooms.

Sourced from the Doris Leslie Blau collection, this rug embodies sophisticated craftsmanship and modern elegance. Established in 1965, Doris Leslie Blau has become internationally recognized for offering exceptional rugs spanning contemporary creations, celebrated vintage designs, and rare antique masterpieces.
