French Art Deco Rug BB8850 8'7" × 10'6" $35,000

This vintage French Art Deco rug is a study in soft geometry and painterly restraint. Its broad field is washed in a pale dove-gray that subtly shifts in tone—like a watercolor ground—then framed by overlapping bands and curves in muted salmon pink, dusty apricot, and a whisper of celadon. In each corner, overscaled quarter-circles and arcs in salmon and green extend toward the center, their edges softened by barely-there white outlines that trace secondary, off-axis rectangles. Along the right edge, a slender vertical stripe of celadon and peach interrupts the field, anchoring the composition with a fresh accent. The overall effect is one of floating planes and interlocking forms—hallmarks of the French Deco aesthetic—rendered in an unusually gentle, almost pastel palette. Hand-knotted of fine wool, the rug’s low, even pile lends the design a smooth, matte finish that reinforces its graphic clarity. This piece is perfect for a modernist living room or bedroom seeking a light, airy focal point, or for introducing a subtle touch of Deco elegance into a contemporary interior.
