About the Item
Vintage 1950s European Art Deco Rug Doris Leslie Blau
Size: 8'0" × 10'0" (243 × 304 cm)
A sophisticated example of mid-20th-century European Art Deco design, this circa 1950 vintage rug reflects the modernist ideals of the era while embracing a painterly, organic sensibility. Hand-knotted in Europe, likely France or Austria, the rug’s meticulous wool pile construction offers both tactile richness and artistic refinement.
At the heart of the design is a mesmerizing geometric tessellation of stylized botanical spirals — possibly abstracted ferns or flowering vines — arranged in a rhythmic, overlapping pattern across the field. These swirling motifs appear to grow organically from the grid-like framework beneath, which anchors the composition with subtle vertical and horizontal lines rendered in pale blues and deeper navy accents.
A harmonious palette of taupe, sand, chocolate, cream, blush, and dusty rose evokes the soft glow of sepia-toned photography. The restrained color scheme enhances the textural depth and visual movement of the pattern, allowing the intricate motif work to feel almost embroidered rather than simply dyed. The muted background is further enriched by tonal gradations and stippled details that mimic natural shadows and highlights.
The rug is framed with a softly scalloped outer border in complementary tones, encased by an inner row of dotwork resembling stitched edging — a subtle nod to textile design and tailoring.
This rug is part of the esteemed Doris Leslie Blau collection, renowned for its curated selection of antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs. Doris Leslie Blau offers a vast selection of antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs in a wide range of styles, materials, and price points, making fine textile art accessible to both collectors and designers alike.
