Vintage French Art Deco Geometric Crimson Hand-Knotted Wool Rug BB7544 8'10" × 10'10" $17,000

This vintage  hand-knotted wool rug draws on weaving traditions and translates them into a pared-back Art Deco composition. Its room-size scale and open field create an easy architectural presence, while the handmade pile brings softness and subtle variation across the surface. A saturated crimson ground dominates the design, interrupted only by two restrained geometric motifs placed off-center. One stepped zigzag in black and ivory sits near the lower edge; the other, a narrow diamond form with a small crest of black accents, appears in the upper corner. The composition feels spare, graphic, and deliberately asymmetric.

With broad negative space and a limited palette, the rug reads as a modern statement without losing its character. It suits clean-lined seating, warm woods, and minimal interiors, where its deep red field can anchor the room and its abstract detailing adds quiet tension. The result is calm yet visually charged, offering collectors a versatile vintage rug with unmistakable presence in almost any setting.

Curated by Doris Leslie Blau, this vintage rug represents the enduring beauty and craftsmanship that have defined the gallery since its establishment in 1965.
