Vintage French Art Deco Wool Rug – Geometric Elegance with Subtle Sophistication BB8886 9'1" × 11'10" $30,000

This vintage French Art Deco rug, hand-knotted in the mid-20th century, is a striking representation of the movement’s geometric refinement and restrained elegance. Woven entirely from high-quality wool, it features a rhythmic interplay of muted earth tones—soft ochres, dusky browns, warm beiges, and shadowy grays—creating a sophisticated, architectural composition.

The field is structured in a grid of rectangular panels, each containing distinct linear or pointillist motifs reminiscent of stylized skylines, silhouettes, and abstracted textures. These motifs vary from elongated vertical bars to cascading stepped forms, lending a sense of visual tempo and dynamic depth. The subtle tonal gradation in the palette gives the rug a weathered, almost fresco-like appearance, enriched by time yet timeless in aesthetic.

Framed by a wide, charcoal border dotted with minimalist shapes and stylized flames, the rug maintains balance between decorative boldness and modern restraint. Its patina and expertly aged surface enhance its vintage charm, making it a refined statement piece for contemporary or traditional interiors.

Whether displayed in a minimalist loft or a curated art deco setting, this rare French rug encapsulates the spirit of modern design heritage—elegant, functional, and evocative.

With its unique pattern and refined colors, this vintage rug reflects the impeccable taste of Doris Leslie Blau’s selections. Offering both rare, high-end pieces and more accessible options, Doris Leslie Blau presents rugs in a wide spectrum of prices.
