Vintage Art Nouveau Geometric Crimson With Midnight Hand-Knotted Wool Rug Dutch BB6716 8'4" × 15'8" $27,000

This vintage Dutch hand-knotted wool rug reflects the clarity of mid-20th-century European weaving, combining an open composition with a distinctly graphic Art Deco sensibility. Its calm, architectural layout allows the central ornament to command attention without overwhelming the room.

A vivid crimson field is enclosed by a deep midnight-black border, creating a sharp frame that heightens the rug’s visual presence. At center, a white geometric medallion unfolds in crisp, angular lines, with abstract extensions above and below that recall Bauhaus and Constructivist ideas. The result is a composition of balance, rhythm, and restrained drama.

Woven in wool, the pile lends the palette a rich depth and a soft, tactile finish that enhances the saturated red ground. The minimal border and solitary central device make this vintage rug especially effective in modern interiors, where it can anchor a space with structure, contrast, and a refined decorative edge.

Part of the Doris Leslie Blau collection, this vintage piece reflects the gallery's unwavering dedication to quality, authenticity, and design heritage. Founded in 1965, Doris Leslie Blau remains one of the world's most trusted sources for exceptional rugs, from rare mid-century finds to contemporary masterworks.
