French Midcentury Green, Red and Yellow Art Deco Rug BB6641 8'10" × 10'7" $15,000

European Deco rugs came as the answer to the tide of socio-cultural changes brought by the turbulent start of the 20th century, and the vintage French Art Deco rug before your eyes is a fine example of this remarkable style. In contrast to opulent antique rugs, this one carries an utterly minimalistic geometric design that starts with the central octagonal medallion placed against the main field with corner spandrels, and continues in its simple character to the last of consecutive borders.

The color palette of this vintage rug is pastel and tranquil yet far from boring. Just as the pattern radiates from the center to the edges, the colors are gradually changing from neutral beiges to shades of blue, aquamarine and teal, enriched thanks to royal touches of burgundy. Such a heartwarming composition will easily match a wide array of décors, from classic to state-of-the-art.

Although made decades ago, this French Deco rug is distinguished by impeccable condition provided by exquisite workmanship. Carefully knotted by hand of top-notch wool, the structure of the rug is firm and the pile pleasant to the touch. If maintained in accordance with the recommendations, it will serve its owners for generations bringing in the never-passing elegance of Art Deco.
