About the Item
Vintage Viennese Art Nouveau Rug
Size: 11'1" × 14'8" (337 × 447 cm)
This exquisite vintage rug, crafted in Vienna during the 1940s, is a quintessential example of late Art Nouveau sensibility, gracefully transitioning into early modernist tastes. Woven in a refined palette of rose, blush, and deep wine-red tones, the composition is anchored by a charming floral and foliate border featuring stylized grapevines. The vines curl and twist with a sense of fluidity, forming a lush garland that encircles the otherwise open central field.
The design balances naturalism with abstraction—grape clusters and vine leaves are rendered with painterly softness and a rhythmical elegance typical of Viennese Secessionist aesthetics. The background is a muted café-au-lait beige, providing an understated contrast that allows the warm reddish tones of the border to resonate deeply without overwhelming the eye.
Hand-knotted with the craftsmanship characteristic of mid-century Central European workshops, the rug's texture is tight and evenly woven, offering durability alongside its decorative appeal. While it pays homage to the organic motifs of earlier Art Nouveau, the symmetrical framing and subtle minimalism of the central field reflect the modernist shift that influenced European design in the pre- and post-war years.
This piece would be a compelling foundation for both classical and contemporary interiors—ideal for collectors and designers who appreciate historical authenticity fused with timeless charm.
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.
