Vintage French Art Deco Abstract Sage Hand-Knotted Wool Rug BB8850 8'7" Ã— 10'6" $38,000

This vintage French Art Deco rug, hand-knotted in wool, reflects the streamlined elegance of France’s interwar design tradition. Its composition favors calm geometry over ornament, giving the piece a distinctly modernist presence that feels as relevant in today’s interiors as it did in the Art Deco era.

A soft sage field opens the design, then gives way to framing bands in blush pink and pale peach that trace the perimeter with subtle precision. Broad quarter-circles sweep into the corners, joined by thin ivory outlines, squared accents, and hints of celadon that keep the composition crisp without becoming rigid. The effect is airy, architectural, and deliberately low-contrast.

Rather than relying on a central medallion, the rug builds interest through layered arcs, offset rectangles, and generous negative space. That restrained palette and abstract geometry make it especially effective in rooms that call for quiet definition, whether paired with clean-lined furniture, warm woods, or more sculptural contemporary pieces.

This remarkable vintage rug comes from the curated collection at Doris Leslie Blau, renowned for its discerning eye for quality, artistry, and timeless design. Doris Leslie Blau presents an exceptional range of vintage, antique, and contemporary rugs suited to both classic and modern interiors.
