Vintage French Floral Ivory Hand-Knotted Wool Rug BB8623 4'8" × 8'7" $14,000

This vintage French hand-knotted wool rug draws from the country’s tapestry tradition, translating a formal garden scene into a floor covering with the poise of a wall hanging. Made in France, it pairs pictorial elegance with the soft hand and durability expected of a well-crafted wool piece.

An ivory field opens into a sky-blue architectural garden, where classical columns, urns, and abundant floral sprays are arranged in layered registers. The composition feels balanced yet lyrical, with the central vase set against scrolling foliage and framed by a decorative upper frieze of winged figures. Blush, brick red, sage, and forest green accents enliven the restrained palette without disturbing its airy mood.

More decorative than geometric, the rug’s botanical and figural motifs create a refined sense of movement and symmetry that works beautifully in formal living rooms, studies, or elegant entryways. Its tapestry-like surface and softened colors give it the character of a vintage French floral rug that can anchor traditional interiors while still feeling light and collectible.
