Vintage French Art Deco Floral Slate Gray Hand-Knotted Wool Carpet BB7550 8'8" × 18'0" $27,000

This vintage French hand-knotted wool carpet draws on the country’s Art Deco weaving tradition, pairing decorative precision with a relaxed, time-softened finish. The slate gray foundation is enlivened by muted green, brick red, cream, tan, and navy accents that give the piece a collected, layered presence.

A large central medallion anchors the composition, but the design stays visually animated through stepped geometry, abstract floral forms, and softened angular outlines. Around it, the field develops a painterly rhythm of botanical motifs and geometric details, while the worn pile blurs the edges just enough to add depth and movement. The result is formal, yet never rigid.

The border is equally expressive, with scrolling vines, rosette-like blossoms, and curving ornaments that frame the rug with an organic counterpoint to the structured center. This French Art Deco carpet brings character to seating areas, libraries, and dining rooms, where its mix of geometry, floral rhythm, and vintage patina can settle naturally into both contemporary and transitional interiors.

Part of the expansive Doris Leslie Blau collection, this vintage rug reflects the gallery's dedication to preserving exceptional craftsmanship and distinctive design traditions. Its character, patina, and artistry make it a sophisticated addition to thoughtfully curated interiors.
