Vintage Art Deco Geometric Sage Hand-Knotted Wool Rug By Mario Radice BB8554 7'10" × 10'0" $26,000

This vintage European Art Deco hand-knotted wool rug, attributed to Mario Radice, channels the disciplined geometry of Italian modernism into a bold yet balanced floor composition. Its abstract layout feels architectural rather than ornamental, making it an elegant example of vintage geometric design with clear Art Deco roots.

A soft sage ground sets the tone for layered rectangular forms that seem to float across the field in pale pink, ivory, lemon yellow, aqua, terracotta red, deep cobalt, and plum. Crisp cream outlines sharpen each block, while generous areas of open ground keep the composition airy and precise. The absence of a traditional medallion or border gives the rug a distinctly contemporary rhythm.

Rendered in wool with the clarity expected of a hand-knotted weave, the piece has the tactile depth and visual control that suit it to modern interiors. The signature at the lower edge underscores its artistic pedigree, while the palette and strong negative space make it especially effective as an anchor for rooms that call for graphic structure and refined color.

Part of the expansive Doris Leslie Blau collection, this vintage rug reflects the gallery's dedication to preserving exceptional craftsmanship and distinctive design traditions. Its character, patina, and artistry make it a sophisticated addition to thoughtfully curated interiors.
