Vintage French Art Deco Floral Light Gray Hand-Knotted Wool Rug BB8555 9'0" × 11'10" $48,000

This vintage French Art Deco rug, hand-knotted in wool circa mid-20th century, brings together the refined geometry of French Deco design and a soft, painterly sense of ornament. Its light gray field provides a calm foundation for a mirrored composition that feels both architectural and quietly floral.

At the center, a stylized medallion emerges through layered blossoms, crest-like forms, and abstracted boteh motifs, all arranged in balanced symmetry. Navy blue accents give the design its crisp outline, while dusty pink, pale peach, and soft lavender lend the field a delicate, almost washed effect. The result is decorative without becoming dense, with a restrained border that keeps the eye focused on the luminous interior.

This vintage wool rug offers the kind of understated presence that suits collected, design-led interiors. It can soften a modern room, lend warmth to a neutral scheme, or provide a graceful counterpoint to clean-lined furnishings, while still reflecting the heritage of French Art Deco carpet weaving.

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