Vintage Art Nouveau Geometric Dusty Rose Hand-Knotted Wool Carpet Viennese Secessionist By Julius Orendi BB8275 12'6" × 16'1" $85,000

This vintage hand-knotted wool carpet from Europe reflects the Viennese Secessionist tradition associated with Julius Orendi. Its Art Nouveau and geometric vocabulary gives the piece a distinctly modernist character, while the soft dusty rose palette keeps the composition refined and easy to live with.

The design is built around framed symmetry: a broad open field is interrupted by arched bands, rectangular compartments, and stylized floral spandrels that temper the architecture with a softer, more organic line. Pale rose accents trace the structure with quiet precision, creating a low-contrast pattern that feels graphic without becoming severe.

That balance of order and ornament makes this Viennese rug especially versatile for interiors that call for visual clarity. It anchors contemporary furnishings beautifully, yet it also reads as a collectible decorative textile with historical depth, expressive geometry, and the cultivated restraint of early modern European design.

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