Vintage French Art Deco Floral Lavender Hand-Knotted Wool Carpet By Jules Coudyser BB1263 8'0" × 11'5" $19,200

This vintage French Art Deco carpet, attributed to Jules Coudyser and woven circa 1940, captures the refined modernism of French decorative design in hand-knotted wool. It belongs firmly to the Art Deco tradition, yet its floral language gives the piece a softer, more lyrical presence.

A dusty pink field is built from a crisp geometric lattice that lends the composition structure and rhythm. Over this angular ground, small floral motifs in coral, lavender, soft yellow, sage, burnt orange, and brick red appear almost scattered like confetti, while a vivid vertical garland of stylized blossoms and curling leaves runs through the center, creating a strong sense of movement.

Broad borders in brick red, aqua, and ivory frame the rug with architectural clarity, reinforcing its graphic character without overpowering the interior. The contrast between the organized lattice and the painterly floral axis makes this French Art Deco rug especially suited to rooms that need both definition and warmth, from elegant contemporary spaces to more romantic settings.

Curated by Doris Leslie Blau, this vintage rug carries the distinct character and artisanal soul that the gallery has championed for decades. With an unrivaled selection spanning eras, origins, and price points, Doris Leslie Blau continues to make fine carpet art accessible to designers and collectors worldwide.
