Vintage Art Nouveau Geometric Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug Dutch BB8262 7'10" × 11'7" $32,000

This vintage Dutch hand-knotted wool rug is a European Art Deco piece that translates modernist ideas into a tightly organized abstract-geometric design. Its composition is built along a strong central axis, with mirrored blocks, stepped outlines, and architectural compartments giving the field a precise, rhythmic structure.

A warm tan ground softens the graphic layout, while brick red, rust, taupe, gray, and brown shape the layered forms. The allover pattern feels both measured and expressive: striped panels, checkerboard details, and narrow linear accents break up the surface, creating depth without relying on a traditional medallion or floral border. The result is a rug with a quietly assertive presence and a distinctly modernist sensibility.

Hand-knotted in wool, it offers the tactile character and durability valued in vintage rugs, along with the versatility to ground contemporary, transitional, or art-forward interiors. Its restrained palette and disciplined geometry make it especially effective where a room needs structure, warmth, and visual interest.

Sourced from the expansive Doris Leslie Blau collection, this vintage rug exemplifies the gallery's passion for preserving remarkable carpets of enduring beauty. DLB offers a diverse selection of antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs, accommodating collectors and designers across every style and budget.
