Vintage French Art Deco Abstract Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug BB6753 13'5" × 13'5" $85,000

This vintage French Art Deco rug, woven in Europe circa 1920, reflects the confident geometry and modern spirit of the interwar period. Hand-knotted in wool, it balances restraint and movement through a borderless composition that feels both architectural and lyrical.

A broad warm tan field provides generous negative space, allowing the abstract layout to read with clarity. Stepped corner forms in dark brown, cream, and rust red frame the edges, while chevron panels and slim linear accents introduce a crisp, rhythmic texture. At the center, sweeping curvilinear lines soften the otherwise angular design and create a subtle sense of motion.

The palette is equally refined, with brick red, terracotta, soft cream, and chocolate brown set against the mellow ground. That contrast gives the rug a tailored Art Deco presence, making it especially well suited to contemporary, transitional, or more formally layered interiors where graphic structure and quiet warmth are equally desired.

Curated by Doris Leslie Blau, this vintage rug carries the distinct character and artisanal soul that the gallery has championed for decades. With an unrivaled selection spanning eras, origins, and price points, Doris Leslie Blau continues to make fine carpet art accessible to designers and collectors worldwide.
