About the Item

Vintage French Art Deco Rug – A Rare Synthesis of Geometry, Nature, and Modern Elegance Size: 11'8” x 13'2” (355 x 401 cm) A superb example of early 20th-century French textile design, this vintage Art Deco rug—crafted circa 1920—is a masterful fusion of modernist abstraction and decorative grace. Radiating from a soft golden beige field, the composition reveals a strikingly inventive interplay of stylized geometric motifs and organic floral flourishes. At first glance, the rug's symmetry and clarity echo the bold visual language of the Art Deco movement, while a closer inspection unveils a poetic layering of intricate details: angular forms resembling stepped pyramids, diagonal rays, and arrow-like constructs are harmoniously juxtaposed with delicate vines, sprigs, and blossoms rendered in lipstick pink, garnet, and dusty coral tones. Soft teal accents woven into lattice-like grid patterns offer a playful contrast, lending further dimensionality. The refined color palette is anchored in warm neutrals—camel, sand, ochre, and parchment—enlivened by elegant pops of rouge and muted blue. The stepped and linear motifs appear to reference architectural forms of the period, while the floral embellishments lend an unmistakably French charm. A rhythmic border comprised of interlocking geometric glyphs and stylized totems adds a ceremonial air to the rug, reinforcing its compositional unity. The visual balance achieved between mechanical order and lyrical organicism is emblematic of the best of Art Deco design—a sophisticated translation of machine-age aesthetics through handcrafted artistry. Woven with precision and intention, the rug’s velvety wool pile and subtle abrash reflect its age and authenticity, further enhancing its character. Ideal for collectors or connoisseurs of French Art Deco interiors, this piece is not merely a floor covering but a visual and historical artifact—both modern and timeless. With its unique pattern and refined colors, this vintage rug reflects the impeccable taste of Doris Leslie Blau’s selections. Offering both rare, high-end pieces and more accessible options, Doris Leslie Blau presents rugs in a wide spectrum of prices.
