French Art Deco Vintage Geometric Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug by Jean-Marie Rossi, D’un monde l’autre BB9214 8'0" × 16'6" $40,000

This vintage French Art Deco rug, titled D’un monde l’autre and attributed to Jean-Marie Rossi, is a hand-knotted wool piece that channels the graphic confidence of European modernism. Made during the vintage period in France, it transforms Deco design into a tactile carpet with a distinctly painterly presence.

An open tan field provides a warm ground for pale ivory linear forms that drift and interlace across the center in loose, ribbon-like movement. At the top and bottom, dense clusters of magenta, fuchsia, and soft pink circles gather into vibrant bands, each framed by a saturated magenta border. The result is a composition that feels balanced yet alive, with a soft central rhythm set against the bolder, more concentrated ends.

Its hand-knotted wool construction lends clarity to the drawing and a supple surface that suits refined interiors. With abstract geometry, bilateral balance, and a vivid Art Deco palette, this vintage French rug works well as a focal anchor in contemporary rooms, bringing color, structure, and an elegant sense of motion.
