About the Item
Mid-Century French Art Deco Rug by Noël Hostens
Size: 9'6" × 11'0" (289 × 335 cm).
This exquisite mid-20th-century French Art Deco rug, designed by Noël Hostens, epitomizes the fusion of abstraction and floral lyricism that defined post-war French decorative arts. Woven circa 1950, the rug is a testament to Hostens’ masterful command of geometry, symmetry, and organic motif—a poetic continuation of the Art Deco movement into modernism.
The composition is built on a structured grid of nine repeating square panels, each intricately filled with a stylized, cubist floral design. The motif features circular petal forms, checkerboard floral centers, and sweeping fan-like foliage, all rendered in a palette of warm terracottas, soft creams, muted ochres, and earthy browns. These tonal variations offer a visually rhythmic experience—almost like a dance of shadow and light—while evoking the influence of Cubism and the Bauhaus school on textile design.
The field is framed by a dual border: an inner band of lighter tones adds structure and contrast, while the wide, deep brown outer band anchors the composition with quiet strength. This rug is not merely decorative but architectonic—designed to harmonize with modernist interiors through its subdued color story and stylized abstraction.
Crafted with high-quality wool and showcasing hand-knotted craftsmanship, this piece is both a work of fine art and functional textile. Its subtle graphic repetition and warm palette make it ideal for interiors that blend mid-century modern aesthetics with classic Art Deco elegance.
Signed discreetly in the lower corner with the artist’s initials, this rug is a rare, authentic example of Hostens' work, offering historical and decorative significance in equal measure.
A remarkable vintage rug, from Doris Leslie Blau Collection, features a timeless elegance. 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.
