About the Item
Striking 1940s Vintage European Art Deco Rug in Crimson and Ivory
Size: 8'0" × 11'0" (243 × 335 cm)
A captivating example of early 20th-century textile design, this vintage European Art Deco rug from the 1940s exudes the graphic sophistication and geometric elegance typical of the Art Deco movement. Handwoven with a rich crimson red field, the composition celebrates dynamic linearity and visual balance.
The most distinctive feature is its bold border design—a rhythmic procession of stylized, interlocking ivory and taupe motifs, forming abstract arrowheads, loops, and geometric flourishes that suggest both symmetry and movement. These elements are meticulously outlined in a soft olive hue, while the corners of the rug showcase intricate knot-like overlays in ivory, taupe, and a striking powder blue, offering a subtle but effective contrast.
A solid central field allows the border to dominate visually, emphasizing the structured beauty of the frame. The rug’s proportions and design elements reflect influences from Bauhaus and Cubist aesthetics, characteristic of the European interpretation of Art Deco.
Hand-knotted in wool, the texture is plush and enduring. Visible weaving on the reverse confirms its authenticity and hand-crafted construction. The weave structure is tight and even, supporting both its durability and luxurious finish.
Whether used as a floor centerpiece or a wall-mounted textile art piece, this rug is a testament to the functional modernism and decorative finesse of the Art Deco era.
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.
