About the Item
A monumental treasure of the early 20th-century French Art Deco movement, this 14x15 antique French Art Deco rug and octagonal carpet is a rare and majestic curation like no other in Rug
Kilim’s Collection. Hand-knotted in wool with an architectural precision exemplary of the era, it flourishes in a warm, sophisticated sand-toned field accented by deep berry red, soft gold, and sage green, all underscored by a regal, elegant design as unique a find as its phenomenal size—all of which likely speak to a particularly special custom piece or aristocratic commission of the period.
On the Design:
This antique carpet is a poetic masterwork of geometric balance and Neoclassical symmetry, embodying the grand spirit of Paris during the height of the Deco period. The composition is anchored by a magnificent central medallion, which radiates outward into four oversized, fan-like semi-circles—each rendered with the structural grace of a cathedral window. Within these fans, intricate wreath and laurel motifs are delicately traced in berry and gold, framing classical architectural elements that evoke the timeless grandeur of French palaces.
Connoisseurs will particularly admire the octagonal silhouette, a daring and smart departure from traditional rectangular forms that lends the piece a monumental, room-defining presence. The outer borders mirror the interior’s grace with a scalloped, wave-like pattern and subtle Greek key accents, creating a sense of rhythmic movement that flows toward the corners. It is a piece as deeply personal in its subtext as it is in the beauties that distinguish it—a labor of love that translates the high-fashion language of Art Deco into a cozy, comfortable, and utterly cultured piece of textile architecture.

This Antique French Art Deco Rug further enjoys a rare good condition for its age and origin.
