About the Item
1920s Vintage French Art Deco Aubusson Rug — Elegant Botanical Minimalism
Size: 10'9" × 17'6" (327 × 533 cm)
A stunning example of understated Art Deco refinement, this 1920s French Aubusson rug beautifully bridges classical heritage and modernist sensibility. Woven by hand in France, the piece exemplifies the subtle sophistication of the post-World War I decorative arts movement — when traditional craftsmanship met streamlined forms and stylized ornamentation.
At first glance, the rug captivates with its airy composition. A cool, celadon green field serves as a serene canvas, over which organic swirling motifs gently unfurl. Rendered in a soft, romantic palette of dusty rose, ivory, and muted mauve, the scrolling acanthus leaf designs gracefully float along the perimeter and in a mirrored arrangement at the center. The composition evokes the elegance of botanical arabesques, stylized to suit the streamlined aesthetic of the Art Deco period.
The minimalist layout departs from the ornate and heavily patterned look of earlier Aubusson rugs, instead favoring a balanced asymmetry and generous negative space — hallmarks of 20th-century French decorative restraint. The rug achieves a sophisticated harmony, where bold curves appear to dance in quiet motion across the subdued backdrop.
Expertly handwoven from fine wool, the flatweave structure enhances the clarity of the design while offering both durability and versatility. Despite its nearly 100-year history, the rug retains a timeless quality, equally at home in a modern Parisian apartment, an artful loft, or a classically inspired sitting room.
This French Art Deco carpet is a masterwork of subtle elegance — a rare artifact that captures the nuanced transition between neoclassical influence and the emerging modernism of the 1920s. With its graceful botanical motifs and soft, restrained colors, it is not only a decorative element but a piece of design history.
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.
