About the Item
Vintage French Art Deco Rug
Size: 4'7" × 7'0" (139 × 213 cm)
A striking example of post-war modernism in textile art, this Vintage French Art Deco rug from 1948 beautifully embodies the dynamic spirit of mid-century French design. The rug’s composition is driven by abstract, almost painterly expressions that merge graphic modernity with handcrafted warmth, making it a captivating statement piece.
The overall palette is dominated by a powerful and confident coral red field, energized by tonal modulations and irregular forms in black and beige. These shapes appear almost pixelated or pointillist in form—suggesting a technological or urban influence that aligns well with the rapid modernization of the late 1940s. Small flecks of black resemble scattered ink or calligraphic gestures, offering a visual rhythm that adds both structure and spontaneity to the composition.
The bold contrast of colors is softened by the texture of the wool itself, handwoven with a dense, low pile typical of the French decorative tradition. This piece retains the essential elements of Art Deco—geometric abstraction and bold visual experimentation—while veering into the expressive territory of early Modernist abstraction.
Notably, the rug’s lack of a central medallion or formal border allows the design to flow seamlessly, giving it a painterly quality that resembles a woven canvas. Whether used as a floor covering or a wall tapestry, this rug asserts itself not only as a functional object but as an artwork in its own right.
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.
