Vintage French Art Deco Geometric Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug Bauhaus BB8281 9'10" × 12'7" $60,000

This vintage French Art Deco rug is a hand-knotted wool piece from France, reflecting the clean-lined modernism of the vintage period. Its composition is openly architectural, with no central medallion, only interlocking rectilinear compartments that read almost like a plan of staggered rooms and passageways.

The warm tan ground is animated by softened fields of pale beige, sage green, muted yellow, taupe, and rust orange, while thin orange outlines sharpen the geometry. Stripe inserts and a small grid motif add punctuation, giving the design a measured rhythm without crowding the surface. The effect is graphic yet restrained, ideal for interiors that favor form and balance.

Seen through an Art Deco lens, the rug balances order and movement with the easy clarity of Bauhaus-influenced abstraction. Its tonal shifts and painterly fading lend the composition depth, making it an elegant choice for contemporary rooms, modernist settings, or any space that benefits from a quietly assertive geometric vintage rug.

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.
