French Art Deco Vintage Soft Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug BB6768 11'8" × 13'2" $48,000

This vintage French Art Deco hand-knotted wool rug, circa 1920, reflects the inventive spirit of early 20th-century French decorative arts. Its soft beige field offers a calm backdrop for a composition that feels structured yet relaxed, combining geometric order with delicate botanical accents in a way that is distinctly French and unmistakably modern.

Across the center, mirrored stepped forms in brick red, terracotta, and slate gray build a bold abstract medallion, while scattered floral sprigs and small lattice-like details soften the geometry. The repeated vertical bars and angular motifs create movement without crowding the open field, giving the rug a tailored Art Deco presence.

A surrounding border of graphic blocks, totemic forms, and restrained linear accents frames the design with clarity and rhythm. The result is a vintage wool rug that balances decorative warmth with architectural discipline, making it a natural fit for contemporary, transitional, or French-inspired interiors seeking color, pattern, and compositional refinement.

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.
