About the Item
Vintage French Art Deco Rug
Size: 7'4" × 9'0" (223 × 274 cm)
Color: Brown, green, orange
This striking French Art Deco rug from the 1940s embodies the modernist energy and graphic clarity of the Art Deco movement at its peak. With its bold geometric abstraction and rich color palette, this piece stands as a vivid example of the European Deco aesthetic, which often fused functionality with avant-garde artistic expression.
The composition centers on a dynamic grid of rectangular and linear forms arranged in a rhythmic, symmetrical pattern. In the heart of the rug, intersecting bars of dark forest green, rust, and orange create a strong focal point, offering a sense of architectural balance. Radiating from the center toward the top and bottom are vertical linear elements in burnt orange and ochre hues, echoing industrial modernity while providing a sense of kinetic motion.
Set against a muted sage green field, the contrast between the vibrant accent tones and the subdued background enhances the graphic impact of the design. Bold corner spandrels in hunter green ground the composition and echo the rectangular motif, giving the design a satisfying closure. The rug is framed by a rich rust-colored border that defines and contains the composition with elegance.
Hand-knotted in wool, the rug has a plush pile and a slightly irregular texture that testifies to its artisanal craftsmanship. Despite its age, the colors remain remarkably vivid, and the overall composition retains its structural clarity and decorative power.
This piece is more than just a floor covering—it is a work of modernist art in textile form. Ideal for interiors seeking to balance vintage sophistication with bold design, it would be equally at home in a contemporary loft, a modernist office, or a classic Deco-inspired space.
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.
