French Art Deco Vintage Abstract Lavender Hand-Knotted Wool Rug By George Leclère BB9035 6'2" × 10'1" $18,000

This vintage French Art Deco rug, attributed to George Leclère and woven circa 1945, reflects the European Deco tradition at its most graphic. Hand-knotted in wool, it pairs modernist discipline with an artist’s sense of composition, giving the piece the presence of a textile mural rather than a conventional floor covering.

A deep crimson field sets the stage for a totemic, bilateral layout built from rectilinear black forms and bands of blue, lavender, ivory, and orange. The central pale panel acts as an anchor, while smaller stepped motifs ripple outward in a rhythm that feels architectural and deliberately abstract. The overall effect is bold, layered, and visually contained.

With its strong contrast and saturated palette, the rug brings energy to contemporary interiors while remaining rooted in vintage French design. It works especially well as a focal point in a seating area, where its geometric structure can balance clean-lined furnishings and add a collected, art-forward character.

This remarkable vintage rug comes from the curated collection at Doris Leslie Blau, renowned for its discerning eye for quality, artistry, and timeless design. Doris Leslie Blau presents an exceptional range of vintage, antique, and contemporary rugs suited to both classic and modern interiors.
