Exquisite Vintage French Art Deco Abstract Ivory Hand-Knotted Wool Rug By Paul Follot BB6783 12'7" × 12'7" $100,000

Made in France circa 1925, this vintage circular Art Deco rug by Paul Follot is a hand-knotted wool piece that reflects the designer’s refined decorative language. Its format and subject matter place it firmly within French 20th-century design, where symbolism and modern geometry were often joined with unusual elegance.

The composition is built around a deep midnight-blue center scattered with small star motifs in ivory, peach, and gold, creating the effect of a night sky. A scalloped pale ring marks the transition to a broad chocolate-brown outer band, where zodiac figures appear in warm coral and terracotta tones. Interspersed starbursts and the softly brushed edge give the rug a measured sense of movement.

Rather than reading as a conventional medallion carpet, it feels emblematic and architectural, with a strong circular rhythm that draws the eye inward and outward at once. The restrained ivory ground, dark blue field, and earthy accents make it a compelling anchor for interiors that value Art Deco character with a distinctive, collector-level presence.

Sourced from the expansive Doris Leslie Blau collection, this vintage rug exemplifies the gallery's passion for preserving remarkable carpets of enduring beauty.
