About the Item

Vintage French Art Deco Rug Size: 13'4" × 19'5" (406 × 591 cm) A captivating example of French Art Deco textile artistry, this vintage rug from the 1940s embodies the geometric precision and ornamental exuberance characteristic of the movement. Woven in France, the piece reflects the transitional energy of the interwar period, fusing soft pastel tones with bold structural design. At the center lies an elongated diamond medallion composed of overlapping translucent planes, echoing the cubist influence that was pervasive in French design at the time. Surrounding this centerpiece is a radiant ring of stylized floral and shell-like scrollwork, rendered in a palette of dusty rose, lavender, sage, and pale aquamarine. This burst of organic forms contrasts dynamically with the otherwise architectural composition, creating a harmonious tension between natural and constructed beauty. Angular beams of color project outward from the center, framing the rug with a series of converging planes in subtle gradients of taupe, ivory, lilac, and cocoa brown. These color transitions are executed with remarkable finesse, demonstrating the artisan’s mastery of tone and shading. Crafted in hand-knotted wool, the rug boasts both softness underfoot and enduring quality. The precision of the patterning and the sophisticated coloration speak to the high standards of French rug production during the Art Deco era, likely made in workshops influenced by modernist design principles emerging from the École des Beaux-Arts and the avant-garde salons of Paris. This rug is not only a decorative object but a historical artifact — an expression of refined modernism and luxury. Ideal for elegant interiors, it serves as a functional centerpiece as well as a conversation piece, seamlessly blending artistic narrative with timeless 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.
