About the Item
Vintage European Art Deco Rug
Size: 8'6" × 10'2" (259 × 309 cm).
This elegant European Art Deco rug from the mid-1940s exemplifies the refined and forward-looking design ethos of post-war Europe. Hand-knotted in wool, the rug features a bold yet poetic interplay of architectural and organic forms, reflecting the Art Deco movement’s fascination with modernism, abstraction, and decorative stylization.
The expansive open field in a warm, sandy beige sets a serene and sophisticated tone. At each corner, stylized medallions emerge like abstracted clouds or decorative scrolls, intricately rendered in soft pastel hues—celadon, dusty rose, pale blue, and ochre. These ornamental flourishes introduce a gentle, dreamlike quality, while retaining the graphic edge characteristic of Deco design.
Framing these corner compositions are jagged skyline silhouettes and vertical and wavy linear accents, evoking both the rise of modern cities and the dynamic energy of movement. These visual motifs are firmly rooted in the Art Deco language—merging geometry with decorative rhythm. The use of angular stepped shapes and curves suggests a dialogue between industry and imagination, typical of European decorative arts from this period.
A muted rose outer border contains and balances the composition, offering visual weight and harmony. The rug's careful symmetry and layering of abstract elements give it a modernist elegance that remains timeless.
Whether placed in a contemporary space or a period interior, this European Art Deco rug serves as both a foundation and a statement piece—rich in history, aesthetic sophistication, and design clarity.
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.
