Vintage French Art Deco Floral Lavender Hand-Knotted Wool Rug BB7904 6'5" × 9'3" $27,000

This vintage French Art Deco hand-knotted wool rug from France, circa 1945, channels the streamlined elegance of postwar French carpet design in a room-size format. The lavender ground gives the piece a cool, luminous cast, while the softened palette keeps the composition poised between decorative flourish and modern restraint.

At its center, a concentric medallion unfolds through layers of cream, misty blue, blush pink, pale taupe, and muted teal. Broad scalloped arcs, mirrored quartering, and petal-like forms radiate outward with architectural clarity, yet the open spacing preserves an airy feeling. The effect is abstract, floral, and quietly rhythmic rather than densely ornamental.

This French Art Deco rug feels especially suited to interiors that need color without heaviness: it can anchor a seating area, soften a bedroom, or add period character to a contemporary room. Hand-knotted in wool, it combines tactile depth with a subtle, painterly surface, making the design read as both graphic and atmospheric.

Sourced from the expansive Doris Leslie Blau collection, this vintage rug exemplifies the gallery's passion for preserving remarkable carpets of enduring beauty. DLB offers a diverse selection of antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs, accommodating collectors and designers across every style and budget.
