Exquisite 1950s Vintage French Art Deco Cogolin Rug
Size: 15'10" × 21'0" (482 × 640 cm)
A triumph of understated elegance and refined craftsmanship, this 1950s vintage French Art Deco rug from the prestigious looms of Cogolin embodies the spirit of post-war design sophistication. Woven in the picturesque town of Cogolin in Southern France—renowned for producing some of the most luxurious custom-made rugs in Europe—this textile marvel exemplifies the harmonious marriage of modernist aesthetics with impeccable handwoven technique.
Rendered in a soothing palette of creamy beige tones, the rug’s surface is defined by its distinctive geometric field—a meticulously arranged tessellation of raised, plush medallions reminiscent of stylized honeycomb or fish scale patterns. These tactile, tufted motifs are neatly embedded within a subtly contrasting flat-woven ground, creating a visually compelling interplay of texture and depth. The balance between the smooth background and the looped, rounded accents achieves an elegant three-dimensional quality, elevating its minimalism into a striking design statement.
Framing the central motif is a wide solid border, executed in a slightly lighter hue, offering visual structure while maintaining the rug's tonal serenity. This thoughtful framing emphasizes the central field’s rhythmic pattern without overwhelming it, making the composition ideal for anchoring refined interiors.
Crafted in wool with impeccable precision, this rug reflects the French Art Deco movement’s later phase, characterized by a shift toward more subtle abstraction, tactile intrigue, and architectural harmony. Its blend of simplicity, symmetry, and soft texture makes it both a functional floor covering and a collector’s art piece.
This vintage Cogolin rug would be at home in a variety of interiors—whether enhancing the geometry of a modernist salon, complementing the restraint of minimalist decor, or adding quiet texture to a neutral palette. As versatile as it is visually intriguing, it remains a testament to mid-century French design excellence and artisanal mastery.
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.
