Vintage French Art Deco Geometric Sage Hand-Knotted Wool Rug BB7822 7'4" × 9'0" $17,000

This vintage French Art Deco rug from France is hand-knotted in wool, reflecting the streamlined modernism of the European Deco tradition. Its composition is pared back and architectural, favoring clear geometry over ornament, with an open sage field that immediately softens the more assertive elements.

At the center, a nested-square device in dark teal and rust orange creates a strong focal point, while slender vertical bars are placed in balanced pairs across the field. These repeated linear accents give the design a measured rhythm, almost like a graphic skyline, and the generous negative space keeps the layout crisp and legible. The four corners are anchored in deep teal, reinforcing the composition’s bilateral symmetry.

A restrained rust border frames the rug with warmth, setting off the sage ground and lending the piece a subtle sense of contrast. The palette of sage green, dark teal, burnt orange, and brown makes this Art Deco carpet especially versatile for interiors that value both visual clarity and understated color. It brings a cultivated, contemporary edge to living rooms, studies, and dining spaces.

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