Vintage French Art Deco Geometric Slate Gray Hand-Knotted Wool Rug BB8723 4'6" × 6'6" $7,000

Vintage French Art Deco hand-knotted wool rug from France, this piece distills the movement’s streamlined sensibility into an abstract geometric composition. Its slate gray ground is handled with a painterly softness, giving the rug the feel of modern art translated into pile.

Rather than a strict medallion or repeating scheme, the design is built from stacked vertical masses and broad horizontal bars that rise and break across the surface. Soft lavender, pale blue, charcoal, and pale sand create a cool, atmospheric palette, while irregular edges keep the composition relaxed and architectural. The result is quietly graphic, with a strong sense of motion.

Woven in wool, the rug carries the tactile appeal and durability expected of a quality vintage hand-knotted piece. Its tonal contrasts and understated palette make it especially well suited to contemporary, transitional, or Art Deco-inspired interiors, where a French vintage rug can add depth without overpowering the room.

Curated by Doris Leslie Blau, this vintage rug carries the distinct character and artisanal soul that the gallery has championed for decades. With an unrivaled selection spanning eras, origins, and price points, Doris Leslie Blau continues to make fine carpet art accessible to designers and collectors worldwide.
