About the Item
Antique Viennese Art Nouveau Rug
Size: 8'6" × 18'2" (259 × 553 cm)
This antique Viennese Art Nouveau rug, dating back to circa 1910, is a masterful expression of early modern European design ideals. Woven in Austria during the height of the Art Nouveau movement, the carpet showcases a seamless fusion of artistry, craftsmanship, and elegance.
The field is defined by an expansive, open expanse of soft, dusty rose — a hallmark of modernist restraint and Art Nouveau’s tendency to emphasize fluidity and subtlety over ornamentation. Framing this open center are wide corner cartouches that contain large stylized floral motifs, gracefully drawn in earthy tones of beige, taupe, olive green, and ivory. These floral elements reflect the organic inspiration central to Art Nouveau, with gentle curves and natural forms rendered in a manner that feels both painterly and architectural.
Each of the four corners is symmetrically mirrored, evoking the feel of a ceiling fresco or mural, which is characteristic of Viennese decorative arts from this period. The border is minimal and tonal, using soft golden hues to frame the composition without interrupting its calm and cohesive atmosphere.
This rug is likely influenced by the work of the Wiener Werkstätte, a collective of artists, architects, and designers that redefined Viennese aesthetics in the early 20th century. The simplicity of the field combined with the organic, flowing lines of the corners reveals the tension between tradition and modernity that defined the period.
Its elongated proportions and subdued palette make it ideally suited for grand hallways, salons, or gallery-like spaces where its refined beauty and historical significance can be appreciated fully. The rug stands as both a decorative floor covering and a work of art—timeless in style, and exemplary in design heritage.
This piece from the Doris Leslie Blau Collection, 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.
