Art Nouveau Vintage Floral Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug Viennese Secessionist BB8693 12'8" × 15'10" $80,000

This vintage hand-knotted wool Viennese rug from Austria reflects the poised restraint of the Viennese Secessionist tradition.

A warm tan field provides a calm backdrop for an open central medallion framework formed by ivory lines, small olive squares, and softly rendered floral rosettes. The composition feels architectural rather than dense, with repeated vertical motifs and crisp geometry guiding the eye through the center. Around the perimeter, a strong border system of square links, linear outlines, and pale botanical forms reinforces the rug’s graphic rhythm while keeping the design airy.

Subtle cream, sage, dark brown, and muted green tones lend the piece an understated palette that reads well in contemporary, transitional, or Art Deco interiors. Decorative without feeling busy, this vintage floral and geometric rug brings structure, warmth, and a distinctly Viennese character to a room, especially beneath a seating group or in a formal living space.

Part of the Doris Leslie Blau collection, this vintage piece reflects the gallery's unwavering dedication to quality, authenticity, and design heritage. Founded in 1965, Doris Leslie Blau remains one of the world's most trusted sources for exceptional rugs, from rare mid-century finds to contemporary masterworks.
