About the Item
Elegant 1940s Vintage European Rug with Neoclassical Motifs in Cool Aqua
Size: 8'11" × 13'3" (271 × 403 cm)
This graceful 1940s vintage European rug radiates timeless elegance through its harmonious neoclassical design and refreshing color palette. Handwoven in Europe during the mid-20th century, the piece is an embodiment of refined symmetry and classical ornamentation—reflecting a taste for balance and understated opulence that prevailed in European interiors of the time.
The rug features a central medallion of delicate leafy festoons and garland swags arranged in a radial, almost celestial pattern. This motif is surrounded by a reserved yet intricate field of stylized floral embellishments and arrow-like corner elements that create a sense of quiet order. The central axis subtly extends with ornamental finials on either side, contributing to the balanced composition.
A standout characteristic is its border design—a gracefully undulating ribbon of botanical scrolls interspersed with oval cartouches and floral flourishes. This border, while decoratively ornate, remains light and rhythmic, preventing any visual heaviness and instead inviting the viewer’s eye to follow its flow.
The rug’s cool aqua blue background—a soft, aquatic turquoise hue—is offset by chalky ivory details, lending it a coastal serenity and freshness. This crisp, high-contrast palette gives the rug a rejuvenating and airy presence, ideal for both classically inspired and modern interiors.
Crafted with fine wool and precise weaving, this rug is not just a decorative floor covering but a well-preserved piece of European textile history. It channels a post-Art Deco design language, where neoclassical revival met mid-century restraint, resulting in decor that was at once rooted in tradition and forward-looking in style.
A rare piece from the Doris Leslie Blau Collection, this rug exemplifies superior artistry and tradition. Doris Leslie Blau offers a broad and varied pricing spectrum, accommodating collectors and designers across a range of budgets—from modest vintage finds to rare, museum-worthy masterpieces.
