About the Item
This magnificent and genuinely rare collectible 8x10 piece, hand-knotted in plush wool pile by Paule Leleu circa 1942–1946, is an exciting centerpiece for Rug
Kilim's Vintage Art Deco Collection. As chief rug designer for the influential Maison Leleu, Paule is celebrated for transitioning the Art Deco aesthetic toward more fluid, post-war elegance.
On the Design:
This rug is a woven masterpiece, epitomizing Paule Leleu's refined aesthetic, which seamlessly blends the symmetry of Art Deco with the charm of classical botanical illustration. It is a rare and collectible piece that speaks to a critical period in French design history (the 1940s), when Leleu expanded her repertoire to embrace rich floral patterns.
The design features a centralized, open field of luminous saffron and gold, serving as a warm, opulent canvas. This space is framed by a lavish, scrolling border of large, stylized roses, leaves, and smaller blossoms. The motifs are rendered in a bold yet sophisticated palette of deep red, soft rose pink, and rich olive green.
The artistry lies in the perfect balance between the opulent border and the uncluttered field—a hallmark of Leleu's genius. Authenticated as an original creation, the rug bears the visible signature of Paule Leleu, confirming its status not merely as a luxurious floor covering but as a prized artifact of French style moderne and a beautiful piece of European design heritage.
Condition:
This mid-century Leleu Art Deco rug further enjoys an overall good condition for its age and origin: another element of its rare and collectible provenance for connoisseurs and designers alike.
