About the Item

Made with hand-knotted wool in France circa 1940, this 6x20 vintage French Art Deco runner rug is an extremely collectible piece from Leleu Decorateur—the work of an iconic family label known for their impact on an iconic design movement, and exciting, rare addition to Rug Kilim’s collection of mid-century period pieces from the acclaimed style moderne. On the Design: This rug is a woven heirloom, a crystalline embodiment of the luxury and disciplined artistry established by Jules Leleu, whose aesthetic defined French Deco and was carried forward by his children, Paule, André, and Jean. Admirers of the craft will recognize this as an exemplar of the Leleu spirit, embodying the same unique principles of elegance and moderne clarity. The structure is a masterful fusion of restraint and rhythm: it features a spacious, light green open field that stretches like a tranquil reflecting pool. This serene expanse is overlaid with an engaging, almost treillage like floral pattern consisting of scrollwork, stylized flowers, and leaves. The motifs are executed in tonal green hues, interspersed with delicate flashes of burgundy and pale sky blue, which lend the design a surprising, luminous depth. Admirers of the craft will notice how the pattern is beautifully diffused, creating a soothing, shadow-like effect that allows the open field to breathe, a hallmark of tasteful Deco elegance. This sophisticated sense of depth and dimensionality is rarely seen, underscoring this rug’s status not just as an antique, but as a genuine piece of French design history. Condition: Further enjoys pristine condition for its age and origin.
