About the Item
Vintage French Art Deco Rug
Size: 5'7" × 7'8" (170 × 233 cm)
This exquisite French Art Deco rug from the 1940s is a stunning example of the bold geometry and streamlined elegance that defined the movement during the interwar years. Woven in France, the carpet embodies the Art Deco ethos through its dynamic interplay of form, color, and symmetry—elements that merge art and function into a single compelling statement piece.
At the heart of the design lies a sophisticated geometric composition, characterized by a series of overlapping rectangular shapes in soft hues of rust orange, burnt sienna, beige, camel, and ivory. The asymmetrical arrangement evokes a sense of movement and depth, creating a layered, architectural quality reminiscent of Cubist influences.
What distinguishes this piece is its striking linear motif, rendered in bold brown stripes that form angular, right-angled contours throughout the surface. These lines guide the eye across the composition in rhythmic pathways, grounding the open space with a sense of deliberate order. They recall the stepped motifs often found in early 20th-century design, while also resembling architectural drafts or circuit-like diagrams, thus giving the piece both a timeless and modern sensibility.
Woven from high-quality wool, the rug has a dense and velvety texture visible in the detailed macro shots. This not only ensures durability but also adds an inviting tactile appeal. The plush pile exhibits a natural sheen, subtly catching the light and enhancing the soft tonal variations across the field.
Despite its abstract form, the rug exudes warmth and balance. The choice of earth-toned palette, dominated by terracotta and sandy beige, grounds the piece in a comforting naturalism while still celebrating the sleek sophistication of Art Deco design. It’s a harmonious blend of restraint and vitality—a piece that feels equally at home in modern interiors or those with mid-century or Bauhaus aesthetics.
This authentic vintage French Deco rug is not merely a floor covering but a work of textile art. Its graphic precision, material richness, and historical significance make it an outstanding choice for collectors, designers, or anyone seeking a statement piece that bridges the decorative arts and modernism.
Rich in heritage and artistry, this handmade rug exemplifies the high standards of Doris Leslie Blau’s curated pieces. With a wide range of prices, Doris Leslie Blau makes exceptional rugs accessible to collectors and designers alike.
