European Art Deco Rug – Elegance in Geometry and Hue (size adjusted) BB8769 10'4" × 13'1" $26,000

This sophisticated 1940s European Art Deco rug embodies the quiet confidence and sleek refinement of the era. Designed with a minimalist sensibility and subtle geometry, it channels the elegance of mid-century European interiors—balancing boldness with restraint.

The rug’s soft taupe field provides a serene backdrop, setting the stage for a captivating architectural border design that runs around its perimeter. Composed of interlocking geometric motifs in lavender, blush pink, eggplant, and violet, the border reflects the angular elegance and stylized precision typical of Art Deco aesthetics. The clean lines and repeated pattern recall both classical symmetry and modernist innovation.

What makes this rug exceptional is not only its visual harmony but also its craftsmanship. Likely hand-knotted in Europe around the 1940s, it boasts a low, velvety pile that reinforces its tailored appearance and emphasizes the clarity of the motifs. The overall design—rounded corners, structured form, and controlled palette—offers understated luxury perfect for both period and contemporary settings.

Rich in heritage and artistry, this handmade rug exemplifies the high standards of Doris Leslie Blau’s curated pieces. With a wide range of prices, Doris Leslie Blau makes exceptional rugs accessible to collectors and designers alike.
