About the Item
Vintage French Art Deco Rug Doris Leslie Blau
Size: 5'10" × 9'0" (177 × 274 cm)
Evoking the bold spirit and lyrical romanticism of the French Art Deco period, this 1940s vintage rug is a striking textile that blends graphic elegance with painterly abstraction. Woven in France during a time of avant-garde artistic ferment, this piece showcases a design language that speaks both to the precision of industrial modernism and the organic whimsy of nature.
The rug’s composition centers on a breathtakingly stylized landscape rendered in soft, dreamy tones of sky blue, buttercream, celadon green, lavender, and dusty rose. Set against a base of silvery blue, the design features soaring pine trees, radiant sunbeams, rolling clouds, and layered natural forms that flow seamlessly across the field like an Impressionist painting interpreted through the lens of Cubism. It’s an atmospheric vignette—at once tranquil and dynamic—calling to mind a misty forest at dawn or a fantasy mountain range touched by light.
Crafted with a dense and luxurious wool pile, the rug reveals the characteristic high-relief carving typical of French Deco weaving. This sculptural surface enhances the sense of depth and dimensionality in the abstracted natural elements. Each form appears hand-shaped, with color fields softly modulated to suggest movement and volume, rather than rigid outlines.
One of the most notable elements of this rug is the presence of a woven monogram—“HF” enclosed in a circular cartouche—positioned discreetly in a corner, suggesting an artistic attribution or perhaps the initials of the original designer or atelier. This mark lends a collectible uniqueness and provenance to the piece, elevating it beyond functional decor into the realm of signed art.
While the rug retains its original palette and integrity, its subtle variations in color and texture add to its authenticity and charm as a well-preserved vintage textile. It is machine-knotted in a robust Wilton-style technique, common in mid-century European productions, ensuring both softness and durability.
This French Deco rug is ideal for collectors, interior designers, or anyone looking to introduce an elegant statement piece that encapsulates the ethos of early 20th-century European design: bold in concept, refined in execution, and timeless in aesthetic appeal.
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.
