French Art Deco Vintage: Abstract Golden Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Carpet BB6789 9'3" × 13'2" $48,000

This vintage French Art Deco hand-knotted wool carpet, circa 1920, brings early modern elegance to the room through a restrained abstract composition. An open golden-tan field sets the tone, while a softly distressed perimeter keeps the design grounded in the visual language of the 1920s.

Across the center, slender brown bars and broken vertical striations form a loose geometric scaffold, more sketched than rigid. Along the edges, coral-rose and terracotta tones gather in mottled bands, lending the rug a sense of movement and a warm, time-softened patina.

The palette of golden tan, pale sand, burnt orange, and deep cocoa feels luminous yet earthy, giving this French vintage rug enough character to anchor clean-lined furnishings without overwhelming them. Its balance of abstraction, symmetry, and subtle texture makes it especially compelling in modern and Art Deco-inspired interiors.

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.
