Vintage French Art Deco Rug – Brown Floral Wool Flatweave (Size Adjusted) BB7295 12'2" × 18'1" $53,000

This vintage French Art Deco rug is a wool flatweave woven in the Aubusson tradition, bringing the clarity of French decorative arts to a format prized for both elegance and versatility. Its design pairs a calm rustic-brown field with a framed composition, allowing the border to read almost like a textile painting.

The surrounding garland is densely worked with blossoms, foliage, and ribbon-like accents in muted yellow, forest green, slate blue, and touches of brick red. Rather than an allover repeat, the floral ornament gathers around the perimeter in a continuous composition, giving the rug a defined architectural edge while preserving generous negative space at the center.

That balance of restraint and ornament is what makes the piece so effective in refined interiors. The subdued ground softens the richness of the border, while the tapestry-like weave lends depth, movement, and a gentle sense of patina. It is a sophisticated choice for rooms that benefit from floral detail without visual heaviness.
