French Art Deco Vintage Abstract Slate Blue Hand-Knotted Wool Rug BB9216 5'6" × 7'8" $14,000

This vintage French Art Deco hand-knotted wool rug captures the modernist energy of European design in a painterly abstract composition. Its slate blue field is crossed by sweeping diagonal bands of orange, rust, ivory, and soft gray, creating the impression of movement rather than a repeat pattern. The non-repeating structure feels architectural, yet the surface remains fluid and expressive.

Scattered oval accents in teal, olive, and dark charcoal punctuate the surface, while a brown border with blue leafy ornament and a narrow ivory guard frame the composition. A thin black outline sharpens the transition between field and frame. The result is bold yet restrained, with enough open tonal space to let the lighter areas breathe.

As a vintage abstract rug, it brings graphic clarity and layered texture to contemporary interiors, pairing easily with clean-lined furnishings, walnut, steel, or stone. The hand-knotted wool pile adds warmth and dimension, making it a distinctive choice for an Art Deco-inspired room or a more eclectic setting in need of color, contrast, and structure.

Sourced from the expansive Doris Leslie Blau collection, this vintage rug exemplifies the gallery’s passion for preserving remarkable carpets of enduring beauty.
