Oversized French Art Deco Vintage Geometric Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Carpet After Da Silva Bruhns BB8272 14'8" × 22'7" $85,000

A bold expression of postmodern design rooted in the Art Deco tradition, this French geometric rug from the 1980s reinterprets early 20th-century modernism through a minimalist and architectural lens. Woven in luxurious wool, the rug captures the era’s fascination with geometry, symmetry, and the interplay of color and form.

The design features an arresting layout of large rectangular color blocks in hues of sun-faded ochre, seafoam blue, ivory, and stark black. These forms are arranged with an almost Constructivist sense of spatial tension and rhythm, creating the illusion of depth and structure—suggestive of steps, platforms, or architectural plans viewed from above. The composition is punctuated by a series of parallel black bars running lengthwise along the edges, grounding the otherwise freeform shapes within a refined border.

Measuring an impressive, this oversized rug reads like a floor-bound mural—an abstract tableau that effortlessly blurs the boundary between fine art and functional object. Its restrained palette and sharp geometry make it an ideal piece for interiors that embrace modern, minimalist, or industrial aesthetics, while its Art Deco roots lend a timeless sense of elegance and craftsmanship.

This rug exemplifies the revival and reinterpretation of Deco aesthetics in the 1980s, echoing the era’s broader return to glamour, drama, and design-forward luxury.

A rare piece from the Doris Leslie Blau Collection, this rug exemplifies superior artistry and tradition. Doris Leslie Blau offers a broad and varied pricing spectrum, accommodating collectors and designers across a range of budgets—from modest vintage finds to rare, museum-worthy masterpieces.
